O’Neill, Nebraska sits at the junction of several key highways:
- U.S. Highway 20 – Runs east–west through the center of town. It’s known as the “Coast to Coast Highway”, stretching from Newport, Oregon, to Boston, Massachusetts.

- Nebraska Highway 108 – A short connector route running southwest from O’Neill toward Emmet.
