OGALLALA, Neb. (KLKN) — Nebraska Department of Transportation said I-80 is now reopened Wednesday morning in western Nebraska after white-out conditions cleared.

I-80 was closed Tuesday from Big Springs to North Platte in both directions because blowing snow made it difficult to see.

🛣️Hwy 30 from Chappell to the Wyoming state line, east and westbound is open. Use caution + patience as you get back on the roads – winter driving conditions still remain, so take it slow, turn off cruise control and watch out for plows.
