They had a not well advertised meeting about the build Nebraska projects last week in McCook. Sounds like they are figuring on expanding 83, there's been surveyors out all week. 80 miles from Kansas to i80, 140 or so miles from Kansas to US 283, 10,000 square miles in this corner of the state and the earth's axis apparently runs through McCook. 83 and 18 were the only projects the district engineer and manager could come up with. They've obviously never gone north out of Cambridge or counted the trucks that go through the ethanol plant in a day.
They still think that a town that effectively banned new housing development for 25 years, in a county of 11,000, with 3% unemployment, is going to attract a large enough plant to create enough traffic to justify turning 83 into an interstate. These are the same people who will pass you when you're doing 70 and walk away like you're parked. They also don't realize that even at the peak of the drilling in North Dakota, the steady stream of oilfield freight and workers wasn't enough traffic to justify an upgrade, and no one in their right mind going east, or to Denver and points west, is going to go to North Platte to hit the Interstate.
I think the last point is why people are running 80-85 mph. Trying to make up the time it takes to cover the extra 70 miles they added by being impatient about getting to the interstate.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
