Route description

Southern segment

The southern segment of Nebraska Highway 57 begins northeast of Leigh at Highway 91. It goes north through farmland and meets Nebraska Highway 32 before entering Stanton. While in Stanton, it intersects Nebraska Highway 24. It continues north from Stanton and ends at U.S. 275.^[1][2]

Northern segment

The northern segment of Nebraska Highway 57 begins south of Carroll at Highway 98, one mile (1.6 km) west of Highway 98's intersection with Nebraska Highway 35. It goes north into farmland, through Carroll, and meets U.S. Highway 20 east of Belden. It turns west with U.S. 20 to enter Belden, then turns north. Before entering Coleridge, it meets Nebraska Highway 59. It leaves Coleridge going northwest, then turns north again before meeting Nebraska Highway 84. Highway 57 and Highway 84 run concurrent through Hartington, where Highway 84 separates. Highway 57 continues straight north out of Hartington and ends at an intersection with Nebraska Highway 12.^[1][3]

History

Prior to November 2001, the current segment of Nebraska Highway 57 north of its present junction with Nebraska Highway 59 was a part of Nebraska Highway 15. The old route for Highway 57 went east from its current intersection with Highway 59, then turned north at what is now the intersection of U.S. 20, Highway 59 and Highway 15 north of Laurel. The highway then went north and ended at Highway 12. In November 2001, the routes for Highway 57 and Highway 15 were swapped so Highway 15 could align with the Vermillion-Newcastle Bridge, which opened that month. The east–west segment which carried both of those highways then became Highway 59.^[4]
