Nebraska Highway Scenes

Most of the photos on this page stem from a trip I took through Omaha in 2003, except the first two, which were taken on a summer vacation trip in August, 2000, and one on the bottom taken during the 2005 summer vacation.  All photos were taken by the webmaster.

	I-129, US 20, and US 75 shields, a little west of the Missouri River crossing.  Photo taken in August, 2000.
	Westbound Exit 1B, for northbound US 77.  This is near the west end of I-129.  Note the odd exit gore sign.  Photo taken in August, 2000.
	Westbound on I-480 crossing the Missouri River into Iowa.  The bridge itself has 8 lanes, but I-480 drops to 4 lanes after US 6 splits off to go through downtown, while I-480 skirts downtown to the north.  Photo taken April 30, 2003.
	Just after US 6 splits off, I-480 takes a slight curve to the north.  Some of the downtown buildings are in the background.  Photo taken April 30, 2003.
	A view of Omaha's skyline from westbound I-480.  Photo taken April 30, 2003.
	I-480 picks up additional lanes approaching the interchange with US 75.  Photo taken April 30, 2003.
	Two lanes peel off to northbound US 75.  The interchange here, soon to be reconstruction, was originally built to accommodate an additional freeway to the west, roughly paralleling US 6/Dodge St.  That freeway was never built.  Photo taken April 30, 2003.
	Two unusual things of note here.  First is the reassurance overhead which does not mention I-480.  Second is the use of I-80's mileage for the exit numbers at the I-80 interchange.  Photo taken April 30, 2003.
	I-480/US 75 widens out to 4 lanes approaching I-80.  The far right lane here drops before reaching I-80.  Photo taken April 30, 2003.
	The movement to westbound I-80 is a major movement and has 3 lanes.  Photo taken April 30, 2003.
	The ramp to eastbound I-80 splits here, while US 75 continues straight ahead towards Offutt AFB.  Photo taken April 30, 2003.
	Eastbound on I-80 at the exit to 13th St.  East of 13th St, I-80 drops to 4 lanes (2 per direction).  Photo taken April 30, 2003.
	Past 13th St on the south side of I-80 is Omaha's baseball stadium (Rosenblatt Stadium) and zoo.  Photo taken April 30, 2003.
	Crossing the Missouri on eastbound I-80 into Iowa.  The first interchange in Iowa is for I-29 North.  Photo taken April 30, 2003.
	Northbound US 385, about to enter South Dakota.  Photo taken August 3, 2005.
