(McCook, Neb.) — Weather permitting, a crack sealing project will begin Feb. 10 on US-83, according to the Nebraska Department of Transportation.

Crack sealing is a process of cleaning and filling open joints and cracks in the surface with sealant to prevent the entry of moisture and debris.

State maintenance forces will be performing a crack seal from reference post 1.5 to reference post 13.79, south of McCook. The work is anticipated to take 14 days. Traffic will be maintained with a pilot car and flaggers.

Motorists are reminded to drive cautiously in and near work zones, to buckle up, and put phones down.
