Route Description
U.S. Highway 26 enters Nebraska from Wyoming, and shortly thereafter enters Henry. After passing through Morrill, US 26 becomes a divided highway. At Mitchell, US 26 meets Nebraska Highway 29. Continuing southeast, US 26 enters Scottsbluff. Through Scottsbluff, US 26 runs concurrent with Nebraska Highway 71 and Nebraska Highway 92 on a highway which goes through northern Scottsbluff. After NE 71 and NE 92 separate, US 26 continues to Minatare, Nebraska, where the divided highway ends. The highway runs due east until an intersection with Nebraska Link 62A, when the highway turns south. US 26 passes through Bayard and, after crossing the North Platte River meets with NE 92 again near Chimney Rock.
US 26 and NE 92 turn southeast towards Bridgeport. At Bridgeport, NE 92 separates and US 26 meets U.S. Highway 385. They cross the North Platte River together, and separate. US 26 continues southeasterly on the north side of the North Platte River. At Broadwater, US 26 begins its third concurrency with NE 92. They run together through Lisco, Oshkosh, and Lewellen. At Oshkosh, US 26 meets Nebraska Highway 27. At Lewellen, US 26 and NE 92 separate for the last time and shortly thereafter, US 26 crosses the North Platte River again. After passing through Ash Hollow State Historical Park, the highway passes through no communities until meeting Nebraska Highway 61 northwest of Ogallala. US 26 runs concurrent with NE 61 the rest of its length in Nebraska. The two highways go south to U.S. Route 30, then the three highways run concurrent into Ogallala. They then separate from US 30, turn south to cross the South Platte River and US 26 ends at Interstate 80.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
