Nebraska Highway 59 begins at Nebraska Highway 14 west of Creighton. It continues east into farmland and through Creighton, then intersects Nebraska Highway 13. It continues due east and intersects Nebraska Highway 121 south of Wausa before ending northeast of Magnet at U.S. Highway 81.[1][2]
The eastern segment of Nebraska Highway 59 begins at Nebraska Highway 57 south of Coleridge and north of Belden. It goes straight east through farmland to the intersection of Nebraska Highway 15 and U.S. Highway 20 north of Laurel, where it ends.[1][3]
Prior to November 2001, the current eastern segment of Nebraska Highway 59 was an overlap of Nebraska Highway 15 and Nebraska Highway 57. That month, the two highways were swapped and the eastern segment of Nebraska Highway 59 was created.[4]
