County’s stop sign project now completed

​YORK COUNTY – The county’s project of replacing and placing 1,134 stop and “stop ahead” signs is now completed, according to York County Highway Superintendent Harvey Keim.

​The new signs are reflective, meaning they are more visible, especially in the dark.
In September of 2023, the county agreed to participate in a state program to replace all the stop signs and put up the new stop ahead signs. If the county would have had to pay for all of it – signs, posts and other materials – it would have cost $164,000. The program was completely paid for with state and federal funds, with county employees having the assignment of installing them.
They had a deadline of completion by the end of 2025, which has been achieved.
This week, the York County Commissioners signed off on a resolution to state the project has been completed and Keim will send that on to the Nebraska Department of Transportation to inform them of such. The resolution certifies the project completion.
