Parts of western Nebraska are in a Red Flag Warning through Friday evening. Low humidity, gusty winds, and dry vegetation can allow wildfires to spread quickly. With the South Fork Fire continuing to burn, do your part to prevent new fires: avoid parking in grass, secure trailer chains, and never toss ci******es from vehicles.

Traveling in the area? Check Nebraska 511 for current road conditions and potential fire-related impacts.

With storms and heavy rainfall, remember to stay aware on the roads for potential flooding.
Remember:
-Do NOT drive into flooded roadways or around a barricade. Turn around, don't drown!
-Water may be deeper than it appears and can hide hazards.
-A vehicle caught in fast moving water can be swept away in seconds.

Heading to Haymarket Park or Memorial Stadium this week to watch the Savannah Bananas in Lincoln?

Don't slip up, plan ahead! Check Nebraska 511 before hitting the road to plan your route and see potential travel impacts along the way.

On Thursday, NDOT enjoyed hosting a group of young women from Cornhusker Girls State! Sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary, this program gives participants hands-on experience with local, county, and state government through a simulated government structure based on Nebraska law.

As part of their experience, the students spent time with our team learning about the work we do and how transportation supports communities across Nebraska. Thank you to Alyse, Weili, Natalie, and Mieke for visiting us. We enjoyed sharing what we do and hearing about your experiences and interests. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
