What this tracks
This dataset records legal rights of way (ROW) for road development projects across Nebraska, including their locations and associated project details.
Why it matters to you
If you’re considering buying property near a planned road expansion, this data shows whether the state has secured rights to build on adjacent land — which could affect your property’s future access or value. For small businesses along highways, checking ROW status helps anticipate construction timelines that might disrupt foot traffic. Nebraska’s ROW records also clarify who maintains specific road sections when reporting potholes or snow removal issues.
How to read this data
ROWType — Indicates the right-of-way category (sample value: 2, though the meaning of specific numbers isn’t provided in the schema).
District — Shows which NDOT district manages the right of way, useful for directing maintenance inquiries.
ProjectNumber — Links the right of way to specific road construction projects when available.
