Route description

Nebraska Highway 71 begins south of Kimball at the Colorado border, where it continues from CO 71. It heads northward from Colorado, intersecting I-80 just to the south of Kimball. It then runs east, concurrently, with Interstate 80 to the next exit where it heads north as a by-pass along the eastern side of Kimball. Just before it passes over US 30 it has a junction with Link 53E which provides access to US 30. Further north, the highway meets NE 88 and runs concurrently northward with it for a couple of miles. N-71 splits off to the north at this point, heading to the northeast to bypass Gering. East of Gering, it intersects NE 92 and runs concurrently northward with it. A little to the north, N-71 and N-92 intersect with US 26, and run concurrently to the northwest along it, passing through Scottsbluff. [1] [2]

At the north side of Scottsbluff, N-71 splits off to the north again. The highway continues north into the Nebraska Sandhills, turning to the northeast and east where it intersects with N-2 west of Hemingford. Both highways turn north and about 25 miles (40 km) later enter Crawford and intersect US 20. After leaving Crawford, the highway continues to the northwest, where it runs along the border with South Dakota for about a mile until they terminate at the South Dakota state line with SD 71 south of Ardmore, South Dakota.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Interstate 29</span> Interstate Highway from Kansas City north to Canada

Interstate 29 (I-29) is an Interstate Highway in the Midwestern United States. I-29 runs from Kansas City, Missouri, at a junction with I-35 and I-70, to the Canada–US border near Pembina, North Dakota, where it connects with Manitoba Provincial Trunk Highway 75 (PTH 75), which continues on to Winnipeg. The road follows the course of three major rivers, all of which form the borders of US states. The southern portion of I-29 closely parallels the Missouri River from Kansas City northward to Sioux City, Iowa, where it crosses and then parallels the Big Sioux River. For the northern third of the highway, it closely follows the Red River of the North. The major cities that I-29 connects to includes Council Bluffs, Iowa; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Fargo, North Dakota; and Grand Forks, North Dakota.

U.S. Route 26 is an east–west United States highway that runs from Seaside, Oregon to Ogallala, Nebraska. When the U.S. highway system was first defined, it was limited to Nebraska and Wyoming; by the 1950s, it continued into Idaho and Oregon. The highway's eastern terminus is in Ogallala, Nebraska at an intersection with Interstate 80. Its western terminus is south of Seaside, Oregon at an intersection with U.S. Route 101. Prior to 2004, the route's last 20 miles (32 km) were co-signed with U.S. Route 101 from the highways' junction south of Seaside north to Astoria where its intersection with U.S. Route 30 was also U.S. 30's western terminus. Long segments of the highway follow the historic Oregon Trail. At its peak, immediately before the establishment of the Interstate Highway System, US 26 was 1,557 miles (2506 km) in length, and terminated in Astoria, Oregon.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">U.S. Route 385 in Nebraska</span>

U.S. Route 385 (US 385) is a part of the United States Numbered Highway System that travels from Big Bend National Park in Texas to US 85 in Deadwood, South Dakota. Within the state of Nebraska, the highway is known as the Gold Rush Byway, one of nine scenic byways across the state. The highway follows along the old Sidney-Black Hills trail which played a crucial role during the Black Hills Gold Rush in the late 1870s. It served as the primary route to transport gold and mining gear between Sidney, Nebraska and the Black Hills to the north. Today, the highway enters Nebraska in the southeastern portion of the Nebraska Panhandle on the state line with Colorado northeast of Julesburg and continues in a northerly direction to the South Dakota state line north of Chadron.
