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.
- U.S. Highway 281 – Runs north–south, intersecting U.S. 20 right in O’Neill. It connects the town north to Spencer and south toward Grand Island.
- Nebraska Highway 108 – A short connector route running southwest from O’Neill toward Emmet.
Because of the U.S. 20 and 281 intersection, O’Neill is a regional crossroads with easy access in all directions — east and west across northern Nebraska, and north and south toward central Nebraska and South Dakota.
