COLUMBUS, Neb.  – Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) will be conducting power line repairs on the east side of Kearney that will require several miles on 56th Street and Antelope Avenue to be closed on Saturday, May 31.

The following roads from the intersection of 56th Street and Antelope Avenue will be closed: west on 56th Street to the first residence, east on 56th Street to the Kearney Expressway, north on Antelope Avenue to the Kearney Expressway, and south on Antelope Avenue to 39th Street.  The closure will last throughout the day to allow crews to replace a damaged subtransmission pole. 

NPPD has notified both the City of Kearney and Buffalo County of the work, and crews will reopen road access on Saturday once the work is completed.
