Notice of Grading Roads

In accordance with Nebraska State Statute 60-6131 and as requested by the Platte County Board of Supervisors, Platte County motor grader operators will not maintain the roads against traffic. This policy is for public safety.  This will result in motor graders deadheading, with blades up, to various locations within the County.  If road closed signs are in place, motor vehicles should use caution, as graders may be maintaining in either lane. The public’s understanding and cooperation will be appreciated.

The current 1 & 6 Year Road Improvement Plan is available in the Highway Department Office in the Courthouse.
