State to install lighting at intersection

Thursday, February 28, 2013

CAMBRIDGE, Nebraska -- The Nebraska Department of Roads will install overhead lighting at the Cambridge lake road on Highway 6&34 this summer.

A NDOR study of the intersection west of Cambridge indicated that three of five crashes in the last five years happened in the early morning or during the night. Four involved impairment such as alcohol or fatigue, and one involved icy roads. All involved drivers who were southbound on Harry Strunk Lake and turning onto the highway.

NDOR District Engineer Kurt Vosburg, at the office in McCook, said this morning that bids will be let June 27, and installation would begin in the late summer.
