The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) plans to contract 92 projects impacting 560 miles of highway and 83 bridges in 2026. The Program, released this week, is outlined in the NDOT fiscal year 2026 Surface Transportation Program Book. It specifies how NDOT plans to preserve, modernize and improve the safety of the state transportation system.
The 2026 Program is valued at $722 million and lists state system projects in each of NDOT’s geographical districts projected for construction within the next six years. Each year, NDOT announces an updated construction program that takes projects from the fiveyear planning forecast and moves them into the one-year construction program. The number of projects, funded through state and federal highway user taxes and fees, is dependent on available funding, project readiness and condition of the asset. The Program does not include Aeronautics, Broadband or local system related construction.
A relatively new addition to the Program Book is the inclusion of multiple projects leveraging alternative delivery.
