A spring blizzard has closed a number of roads in western Nebraska. According to the Nebraska State Patrol an 88-mile stretch of Interstate 80 has been closed from Kimball east to Big Springs.
A parallel section of U.S. Highway 30 has also been closed between Kimball and Big Springs. The patrol says a nearly 50-mile stretch of U.S. Route 385 from Sidney north to Bridgeport has been closed.
Several other roads around Scottsbluff, near the Wyoming border, have also been closed because of snow and slush cover.
