A stretch of I-80 near the Platte River between Lincoln and Omaha has the highest deer density and highest I-80 collision rate of anywhere in the state.  To reduce collisions, the Nebraska Department of Roads plans to install an 8' fence along a 4-mile stretch between the Mahoney Interchange and Pflug Road.  The DOR hosted an informational meeting on Tuesday where citizens could learn more and express concerns.  Read the full article about the I-80 deer fence from the Lincoln Journal Star.
