We were on it in 2016.Nebraska was mostly ok. The western end they were doing some road work which should be done by now. Wyoming was good. If going from St Louis, you might consider taking Missouri 36. Good 4 lane road. Then 29 to 80. But we took a short cut off I29 at Nebraska City. I believe it was Rt6.It cuts a number of miles off the trip.

Thanks for your response. I have driven the route several times before, but hadn't heard any recent updates about highway conditions. We just returned from a trip to Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. I-70 and I-80/90 in Indiana and I-196 in Michigan were terrible. The locals all said the harsh winter wreaked havoc on their heavily travelled roads. I was curious if I-80 across NE, WY, and UT had the same problem. I also usually cross the Missouri River at Nebraska City and take Rt. 2 to Lincoln. It is good road and does cut several miles off. I used to live in Hastings, NE and travelled US Hwy 6 frequently from Hastings to Sutton, then cut north to I-80 to travel on to Lincoln or Omaha.
