Grand Island, Neb. ā The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT), in partnership with the City of Grand Island, will host a ribbon cutting ceremony for the U.S. Highway 30 (US-30) Grand Island West project on Monday, November 3, at 2 p.m.
The $47.8 million project, which began construction in April 2024, expands US-30 to a four-lane expressway west of Grand Island. The improvement enhances traffic safety, reduces congestion and increases mobility for residents, commuters and freight traffic traveling through the region. The newly constructed expressway is scheduled to open to traffic on Wednesday, November 5.
As part of the project, North Road and Stolley Park Road were realigned to intersect the new US-30 perpendicularly, improving connectivity and traffic flow. The project was made possible through funding from the Build Nebraska Act and the Transportation Infrastructure Bank, in collaboration with the City of Grand Island.
