LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska officials plan to put more emphasis on the economic benefits of roads projects when deciding which ones will get funding.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports the new Director of the Roads Department Kyle Schneweis is changing the future projects are evaluated.
Schneweis says a group of 19 business leaders and local officials will help the department decide which road projects should be high priorities for the state.
The new guidelines will affect projects with completion dates after 2022 because current plans already cover the years before then.
The schedule of maintenance for existing roads won't change. That will still be based on the pavement's condition.
