Highway 75 from Plattsmouth to Murray is a project with the Nebraska Department of Transportation to widen 7 miles of the existing US 75 into a four-lane expressway.

Work began in July of 2021, and has overcome several challenges including numerous underground utilities which needed to be relocated, labor shortages, and a global supply chain disruption.

The project is currently 75% complete, with a scheduled completion date of July 2024.
