Route description

The whole route is in Dixon County. It is in mostly rural farmland. N-116 starts at the intersection of N-15 and travels northeastward. The road crosses over Logan Creek Dredge in a truss bridge. It meets the western terminus of S-26B as it turns north. The road enters Dixon, and crosses over a railroad owned by Nebraska Northeastern Railway. N-116 soon leaves Dixon, and ends at US 20.[2]

History

A gravel road from west of Concord to US 20 has been in the state highway system since 1937.[3] By 1948, the road was extended southwest to connect to N-15.[4][5] The road became designated as N-116 by 1953,[5][6] two years before the official state highway system was created.[7] N-116 was resurfaced in bitumen in 1964.[8][9]
