Nebraska completed slightly more than 100 highway improvement projects this year. It has 150 projects slated for the next fiscal year.


Nebraska Department of Roads Director Randy Peters says Nebraska hopes to keep momentum going next year after completing 18 more projects in 2014 than it did in 2013.
Peters does say the state is hoping Congress re-authorizes the Federal Highway Trust Fund, which distributes federal money to the states.

 

Peters says there are some priority bridges that will also soon need some upgrades.
