City Council to consider I-80, I-70 link
Meeting Monday night, the McCook City Council will consider a resolution from the consent agenda that supports a potential four-lane expressway on U.S. Highway 83, connecting Interstates 70 and 80.
The resolution, backed by the McCook Area Chamber of Commerce and the McCook Economic Development Corp., supports the proposed U.S. Highway 83 expressway that would be five miles south of North Platte to the Kansas border and reciprocal action by Kansas to Interstate 70. The resolution also seeks funding from Congress for a location study to assess the costs and benefits to Nebraska and Southwest Nebraska in the development of a U.S. Highway 83 expressway.
The Red Willow County Commissioners will consider a similar resolution at their meeting Monday, 9 a.m.
