McCOOK — Weather permitting, a crack seal project will begin Monday on U.S. 83, 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 entry of moisture and debris.

State maintenance forces will be performing a crack seal from reference post 18 to reference post 26, north edge of McCook to the Red Willow Creek Bridge. Anticipated completion is 15 working 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.
