The Nebraska Department of Transportation will hold a public information open house in Niobrara Tuesday to present a new alternative for Highway 12 in northern Knox County.

District Three Engineer Kevin Domogalla says they took public input, and came up with a new proposal…

The highway near Niobrara is threatened by continually rising water from Lewis & Clark Lake.
Domogalla says instead of moving the highway south to the face of the bluff, they plan to keep it on the same alignment…

Domogalla says the planned elevation of the new road should keep it out of the water…

Domogalla says they won’t have a cost estimate for the project until a route is settled.

The open house will be at Niobrara High School on Tuesday from five to seven PM.
