KEARNEY — Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) will be replacing an aging bridge that crosses the Kearney Canal on Evergreen Road west of Kearney, with work to start mid-November.

The bridge located west of Kearney and approximately one-quarter mile north of Highway 30 will be replaced with a large concrete box culvert.

The work is expected to begin the week of Nov. 24, and traffic will be rerouted to Dove Hill Avenue, 1-mile east of Evergreen Road, until installation of the box culvert is complete. The new culvert will support all legal traffic loads.

The project is estimated to take approximately two months to complete, and the road will reopen once the work is completed.
