Beatrice Road Work Starts Monday | Lincoln News
About this episode
Road work is set to begin Monday in Beatrice on U.S. 136 (Court Street), part of a major $20M federally-funded project running through 2023. The first phase focuses on paving, curbing, and asphalt replacement—with temporary traffic shifts and limited access to nearby highways and bridges. While it’ll mean some short-term headaches, the goal is to restore aging infrastructure and deliver a smoother, safer road for years to come.

Alright, let's talk about some roadwork kicking off in Beatrice. Starting Monday, they're going to be resurfacing US 36, also known as Court Street. This whole operation is part of a plan that got funded back in 2021, and it's expected to run through 2023. The initial phase is all about paving and fixing up the road and curbs. After that, the crews will come in and lay down a fresh layer of asphalt. Just ahead's up, access to highways and bridges within the construction zone might be limited during this time. This project is a pretty big deal for the area, especially since some of these bridges are past their prime. The goal is to get them repaired and back in good shape, which is why they secured a significant federal grant for this work. They're planning to move traffic to the quarter level during the construction phase. It's a bit of a process, and while it might not be the smoothest ride for everyone, the end result should be a much improved roadway. So keep that in mind if you're navigating through Beatrice.
It's all about making things better in the long run, even if it means a little inconvenience now. From your city, powered by AI, this is Lincoln News today. I'm Corey with The Story.
