HARTINGTON — As a result of the increased population of St. Helena from 1960 to 1970, the state of Nebraska will take over maintenance of the highway south from St. Helena to Highway 12.
The action comes as a result of LB-1302 passed in the 1969 Legislative session. The legislation mandates spurs that serve incorporated municipalities having a population of 100 or more inhabitants be classified as part of the state highway system. A letter to the Cedar County Commissioners said the state would take over the maintenance in February.
