The Lind- Hatton Road is a major collector linking the residents, businesses, and railroad wheat elevator in and around the City of Lind to the Beatrice area, Othello, and SR 26. This road is a major haul route for agricultural products to market or storage and the haul route for farmers and feed trucks to the National Foods chicken egg factory. It is also a transportation corridor for workers commuting to jobs.
This road is a major haul route for a chicken egg farm 3 miles south of the BMP. It also is a haul route for wheat, potato’s and other crops to market or storage.
The existing roadway consisted of two 10’ lanes with narrow shoulders of 1-3’. The existing roadway included vertical and horizontal curves that were not consistent with standards for sight distance and turning movements. Truck traffic on this route had difficulty negotiating the roadway because of the narrow width and a deteriorating roadway base and surface. At the time the project was submitted this section had an ADT of 130 Vehicles of which 15% represented trucks.
This project reconstructed the roadway from MP 7.33, Damon Road to M.P 12.37, by by milling, grading, draining, gravel base, guardrail, replacement of drainage facilities, production, stockpiling and placing of aggregate and associated work.
The roadway width was increased to 30’. The steep side slopes were either widened or protected with guardrail. The vertical and horizontal alignment was straightened to improve sight distance and safety. A sufficient base for truck traffic was placed and the roadway was surfaced with BST.
