The book lists the 2025 State Highway System Program projects separated by each NDOT Geographical District and project type planned for construction within the next six years. The 2025 program has been published at $772 million. It is funded through state and federal highway user taxes and fees, and does not include aeronautics, broadband, or local system related construction.
The 2024 State Legislature allocated an additional $70 million to help fill existing funding gaps. This allocation resulted in an increase from 540 to 805 miles of statewide highway preservation and the expansion of the Highway 275 Expressway from Norfolk to Pilger within the next year.
Other projects planned to begin within the next year include, but are not limited to, 10 miles of interstate replacement between Cozad and Darr, preservation work and construction of Super 2 passing lanes on the Highway 83 corridor between North Platte and McCook and the Lincoln West Beltway Capital Improvement.
NDOT is responsible for the planning, development, design, construction, maintenance, and administration of the state highway system. The goals of the department are to preserve the billions of dollars Nebraskans have invested in their state highway system, making the highways safe and efficient, and accomplishing this in a timely and cost-effective manner.
