Weather permitting, a cold milling project will begin July 28 on US-6, according to the Nebraska Department of Transportation. Cold milling is a process of removing deteriorated asphalt in preparation of placing a chip seal to improve the roadway surface and drivability.
State maintenance forces will be performing the cold milling and chip seal from Reference Post 24.17 to Reference Post 34.38, from Imperial to Enders.
The cold milling work is anticipated to take 6 days. The chip seal will be performed in late August. One-lane traffic will be maintained with the use of a pilot car and flaggers.
Motorists are reminded to drive cautiously in and near work zones, to buckle up, and put phones down.
