Blizzard Closes Interstate 80 in Nebraska

A blizzard has struck Nebraska, causing severe travel disruptions, particularly on Interstate 80 between Grand Island and Kearney, which was closed due to treacherous conditions. The Nebraska Department of Transportation reported that many highways in the region are partially to completely covered with snow and slush, making travel difficult or impossible. As spring approaches, South Dakota is preparing for its 'fifth season' of road construction, starting with lane closures on westbound I-90 due to a significant reconstruction project that will last until 2026. Drivers should be aware of these changes and potential delays as construction activities ramp up in the coming weeks. Weather conditions are expected to play a crucial role in the progression of these projects, including the anticipated lane closures on I-90. Motorists in both states are advised to stay updated on travel advisories and road conditions.
