In 2016, construction prevented me from clinching US 30 in Nebraska. Then, in 2023, a new four-lane 30 opened from the north side of Fremont to Columbus. (Contrary to expectations in my blog post, a truck relief route in Blair is only signed as that, and 30’s route has remained unchanged. Slightly less contrary to that blog post is my limited travel budget, since I was just slammed with a 12% rent increase.)
Now a new four-lane alignment of US 30 is being built on the west side of Grand Island. When KSNB covered the start of the project in April 2024, the expected completion date was July 2026.
After that, of course, the Missouri Valley bypass will be constructed, but completion of that won’t be until 2029.
