Route description

NE‑44 begins at an intersection with NE‑4 south of Wilcox. It heads through farmland and passes through Wilcox, then meets U.S. Route 6/U.S. Route 6 (US 6/US 34), which are concurrent with each other. NE‑44 then turns east with US 6/US 34 and passes through Axtell. East of Axtell, NE‑44 turns north. Near Kearney, NE‑44 meets Nebraska Link 50A, which serves as a link to Fort Kearny State Historical Park. Shortly after, NE‑44 crosses the Platte River and becomes a divided highway. NE‑44 then enters Kearney and meets Interstate 80. The highway continues north towards downtown Kearney on Second Avenue and ends at an intersection with US 30.[1][3]
