What this tracks
This dataset records legal rights to travel over land owned by others, primarily used for road planning and development across Nebraska.
Why it matters to you
If you’re considering buying property near a state highway or planning a driveway connection to a state road, this data tells you whether the land includes a state right-of-way. Knowing this prevents surprises about who can access the land or what construction might be allowed. For farmers, it clarifies where the state can maintain ditches or snow fences alongside roads.
How to read this data
ROWType — Indicates the right-of-way category (sample value: 2, though categories aren’t labeled in this dataset).
District — Shows which NDOT district manages the right-of-way, useful for directing inquiries.
ProjectNumOnBase — Links the right-of-way to specific road projects if available.
