Portion of Old D-L-D Road Found

The Oct. 28th McCook (Ne) Daily Gazette had an article by Connie Jo Discoe about a section of the old Detroit-Lincoln-Denver Road that came to light because of the crumbling wing wall of a culvert on a county road east of McCook.

In Nebraska, the D-L-D Road became US-38 in 1926, then US-6 in 1931. The alignment was then located north of this site which became a county road.

The concrete highway became filled with potholes and at some point, the county built a gravel road over it. The wingwalls are now crumbling and the original concrete is being exposed.

This is today Red Willow County Drive 7161717 west of Deb and Kent Myers' home east of McCook and south of US-34/US-6.
