(McCook, Neb.) — Weather permitting, a crack sealing project will begin Jan. 13 on US-283, according to the Nebraska Department of Transportation. Crack sealing is a process of cleaning and filling open joints and cracks in the surface with sealant to prevent the entry of moisture and debris.
State maintenance forces will be performing a crack seal from reference post 41.00 to reference post 55.00, south of Lexington. The work is anticipated to take 21 days. Traffic will be maintained with a pilot car and flaggers.
Motorists are reminded to drive cautiously in and near work zones, to buckle up, and put phones down.
