The Nebraska Department of Transportation announced around 2:30am this morning that I-80 is open in both directions. I-80 closure began yesterday morning from Lexington to Lincoln and as the day went on closures of I-80 went from North Platte to Gretna before finally having I-80 closed from border to border.

NE 511 shows that Highway 30 is open, however is still closed from Kearney to Shelton. Roads in the Eastern half of the state still show being closed or being worked on by crews. The NDOT states if you have to travel, drive slowly, buckle up and increase following distance.
