Additional traffic restrictions are also in place for other improvements along Lincoln County Road 106 (271st Street) west of the interstate for roadway improvements toward the city of Tea.
The city of Tea’s improvements to the 1.4 mile segment of Lincoln County Road 106 between I-29 and Heritage Parkway is anticipated to continue through summer of 2022.
