NEBR clTV of - Good Life. Great Journey. USDeporiment GRAND' ISLAND ___. ___. of Transportation DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Highway Administration NH-30-4(162) In Grand Island Bridges; C.N. 42776 LOCATION Identified as In Grand Island Bridges, the proposed project would resurface approximately 0.69 miles of U.S. Highway 30(US-30). The proposed project would begin at the junction of US-30 and U.S. Highway 281 (US- 281)/Nebraska Highway 2 (N-2) at mile marker(MM) 312.93, and from the intersection of US-30 and Old Lincoln Highway at MM 313.66 extending east to MM 314.10 at the intersection of US-30 and Grant Street in Grand Island. Construction could begin and/or end approximately 200 feet ahead of or beyond the actual project limits to accommodate transitioning the pavement. PURPOSE AND NEED The purpose of the proposed project is to preserve the US-30 transportation asset, improve the reliability of the transportation system, and perpetuate the mobility of the traveling public. The need for this proposed project is based on the condition of the existing roadway and bridges. SCOPE OF WORK The planned construction would consist of repairing three US-30 bridges. Repairs to US-30 bridges over US- 281/N-2, Custer Avenue, and the Union Pacific Railroad(UPRR)would include replacing approaches, remodeling abutments and wingwalls, replacing or constructing median barrier, and other repairs. The work on the existing concrete approach roadway would consist of repairing, milling and resurfacing with asphalt. The raised median on the approach roadway and bridge would be removed and replaced with a median barrier, this would reduce the likelihood of cross-over accidents through this segment.

ACCOMMODATION OF VEHICLE AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC The proposed project would be constructed under traffic with lane closures controlled with approved temporary traffic control devices and practices. However, two short-term closures and detours would be needed for the proposed project. Pedestrian access on the US-30 bridges over Custer Avenue and the UPRR would be temporarily closed during construction; a short-term pedestrian detour would be needed (approximately 40 working days)to allow for work on bridge abutments, approach slabs, and rail. The pedestrian detour route would require new sidewalk, driveway replacement, and curb ramps at several locations. A designated detour would be provided utilizing N. Clay Street, W. 3rd Street, N. Blaine Street,W. Old Lincoln Highway/Old Potash Highway, and W. Old Highway 30. In addition, night time construction work would be required on the US-30 bridges over Custer Avenue and the UPRR to complete the asphalt overlay on the bridge and approach roadway.A night time vehicle designated detour would be provided from 12 AM to 6 AM over the course of 4-6 nights for this construction. A designated detour would be provided utilizing N. Broadwell Avenue,W. 3rd Street, N. Blaine Street,W. Old Lincoln Highway/Old Potash Highway, and W. Old Highway 30.
