Nebraska's highways, byways, roads, and more!
NE 2 is one of a handful of split routes in Nebraska, and its mile markers count a "phantom" segment between Grand Island and Lincoln as part of the routing.
From NE 2 Westbound/NE 71 Northbound:

South Dakota state line north of Crawford. The quality of South Dakota's highways generally lags behind Nebraska's, as can be seen in the pavement change between states.

Nebraska welcome sign; this particular one features Chimney Rock. The "Home of Arbor Day" banner beneath the sign is particularly ironic in this setting.

The last directional signage for NE 2 before it turns onto I-80. Do you see any NE 2 END signs? According to the 2001 Nebraska Highway Reference Post Log, NE 2 ends here. However, I do not believe this has always been the case, and NE 2 used to be secretly multiplexed with I-80. Anyway, NE 2 will not reappear for another 90 miles or so, until one reaches Lincoln...

Approach signage as NE 2 nears the interchange with US 77 (Homestead Expressway) in the southwest part of Lincoln. Note that the sign explicitly states that NE 2 ends at the junction, which is quite unlike the Grand Island terminus.
From US 77 Northbound:

Advance BGS as US 77 approaches the Van Dorn St. exit. Note the thickness of the '2' on the Nebraska shield.
