Ever wondered what those large safety devices along the highway do? Crash attenuators absorb the force of a vehicle that hits them, helping slow or stop it before it reaches a fixed structure. NDOT uses them to help protect roadside workers, tow truck drivers & first responders.

Building a stronger Nebraska faster! FHWA Administrator Sean McMaster joined Nebraska Governor @TeamPillen, Build America Bureau Executive Director Morteza Farajian, and @NDOT @NebraskaDOT Director Vicki Kramer to highlight $5.15 million in total federal technical assistance grants last week. These @USDOT and FHWA grants build a modern project delivery framework to evaluate alternative delivery models, public-private partnerships, and innovative financing across seven counties in eastern Nebraska. By moving beyond traditional funding models, NDOT is cutting red tape and getting critical infrastructure built faster for Nebraska families and businesses! #AmericaIsBuildingAgain #FreedomToDrive
