ORLEANS — Weather permitting, a crack sealing project will begin Jan. 12 on Nebraska Highway 89 (N-89), 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 crack sealing from reference post 62 to reference post 72, beginning at the south city limits of Orleans to the junction of N-89 and U.S. Highway 183 (US-183).
The work is expected to take 20 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.
