The Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR), previously known as the Nebraska Bureau of Roads & Bridges is the state government agency charged with building and maintaining the state and federal highways in the U.S. State of Nebraska. The main headquarters of the agency is located in Lincoln, the capital city. There are eight NDOR district offices located across the state.
The Nebraska Department of Roads differs from other similar state agencies across the country, in that it is a Department of Roads, not a Department of Transportation. The Nebraska Department of Roads does not oversee Nebraska aviation, waterways, motor vehicles, or many other areas that similar agencies in other states have as part of their mission.
