KEARNEY, NE - You're likely to see orange cones and construction equipment if you're driving through Kearney anytime soon.

The city starts three road projects today. The most notable is the 2nd Ave. overpass, where traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction. The project will make improvements to the bridge structure and could last until the end of September.

Additionally, 31st St. from Avenue L to Avenue N will close for about a month to make water main and service improvements.

And A Avenue will close from 25th Street to 24th Street for two weeks for the installation of sanitary sewer main.

Drivers are asked to use caution in these areas and find alternate routes if possible.
