Weather permitting, work is scheduled to begin Sept. 14 on a project to install roadway cameras at three locations in District 7.
The cameras will be installed at the west junction of U.S. Highway 6/34 (US-6/34) and U.S. Highway 83 (US-83) in McCook; the junction of Nebraska Highway 46 (N-46) and Nebraska Highway 89 (N-89); and along US-6/34 near Heartwell.
The cameras will support the Nebraska Department of Transportation’s (NDOT) winter operations by providing operations managers with remote access to roadway and weather conditions. The information will help NDOT monitor conditions and make informed decisions during winter weather events.
The cameras are designed to monitor roadway and weather conditions, not individual motorists. Live camera feeds will be incorporated into Nebraska’s 511 Traveler Information network, giving the public access to current roadway conditions and helping motorists make informed travel decisions.
Primary Acquisition Group, Inc., of Grand Island, is the contractor for the project. Work is anticipated to be completed by Nov. 1, 2026.
Motorists are reminded to use caution when traveling through or near work zones, buckle up, and put their phones down while driving.
