Description
NDOT is the agency responsible for the daily maintenance and operations of the State Highway System which includes the U.S. Highways. The numbering for these highways is coordinated through AASHTO, an organization coordinating various state departments of transportation within the United States. Under the 1926 highway numbering plan, two-digit U.S. Highways are numbered in a grid; east–west highways have even numbers while north–south routes have odd numbers. The lowest numbers are in the east and north. The primary east–west highways in Nebraska are numbered US-6, US-20, US-26, US-30, and US-34. The primary north–south highways in Nebraska are numbered US-73, US-75, US-77, US-81, and US-83. In addition to these are various three-digit highway designations which are branches of related two-digit highways.
