Nebraska Highway 50 is a north–south highway in the state of Nebraska. The southern terminus is at the Nebraska-Kansas border near Du Bois. The northern terminus is in the Millard neighborhood of Omaha at an intersection with U.S. Highway 275 and Nebraska Highway 92. It is a two lane highway except for the section from Springfield north to the southern edge of the Millard neighborhood in Omaha, which is a divided highway.

Route description

Nebraska Highway 50 begins at the Kansas border south of Du Bois. The highway extends into Kansas as K-63. It runs through farmland, passes through Du Bois, and meets Nebraska Highway 8. The two highways overlap, first by going north and then by going west, into Pawnee City. In Pawnee City, the overlap with Highway 8 ends and a new one with Nebraska Highway 65 begins. The two highways overlap going north out of Pawnee City and separate near Table Rock, Nebraska. Two miles north, Highway 50 briefly overlaps Nebraska Highway 4 before going north again. Near Elk Creek, Highway 50 meets Nebraska Highway 62. Further north, Highway 50 passes through Tecumseh and meets U.S. Highway 136. The highway continues due north from Tecumseh through Syracuse, passing by Nebraska Highway 41 and Nebraska Highway 128 between Tecumseh and Syracuse. In Syracuse, Highway 50 meets Nebraska Highway 2.^[2][3]

Nebraska Highway 50 continues due north from Syracuse, meeting U.S. Highway 34 near Avoca. Near Manley, Highway 50 meets Nebraska Highway 1. It continues north and curves northeast before meeting Nebraska Highway 66. Highway 50 and Highway 66 overlap until the southwestern edge of Louisville, where they separate, though signage on Highway 50 has "To Highway 66" signs in the Louisville area, due to a gap in that highway in Louisville. After passing through Louisville, Highway 50 immediately crosses the Platte River and then immediately meets Nebraska Highway 31. Highway 50 then goes northeast briefly and turns north to go through Springfield, where the highway becomes divided. As the highway approaches Omaha, it meets Nebraska Highway 370 and then Interstate 80. It then continues north into the Millard neighborhood of Omaha on 144th Street, then turns northeast onto Millard Avenue. After passing through Millard, Nebraska Highway 50 ends by meeting U.S. Highway 275 and Nebraska Highway 92.^[2][3]
