(Norfolk, NE) – Troopers from the Nebraska and Iowa State Patrol Divisions are teaming up to keep travelers safe on both sides of the Missouri River this Thanksgiving. Both law enforcement agencies will conduct simultaneous Patrol operations on many thoroughfares in northeast Nebraska and northwest Iowa, as part of the effort. The high-visibility campaign is underway now through Sunday, Nov. 29th.

The campaign will focus on major highways in both states, including (In Iowa): Highways 20 and 75, and Interstate 29. All motorists are urged to follow traffic safety laws during their travel, including following the posted speed limits, avoiding distracted or impaired driving, and always wearing a seat belt. Motorists in either state can call *55 on their cell phone, or 800-525-5555 to reach the State Patrol Helpline for their respective state.
