What is the need for the designation swap?

US 183 and NE 7 are currently a wrong way multiplex with US 20. US 183 would just continue straight north on the street it is on in Bassett. NE 7 would go east from Ainsworth 5 miles, then continue north again. I assume at some future point, the future US 183 gets a curve at the north end of the future NE 7.

NDOT will be widening another segment of I-80 to six lanes with a concrete median from Pleasant Dale to Seward.
It's a 9.6-mile-long construction project that will replace 14 structures including 4 overheads. Total cost- $173.1 million, which comes out to ~$18 million a mile.

CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE: Construction could begin as early as spring of 2027 and be completed by fall of 2030.
