History
Nebraska Highway 14 originally ended in Neligh. It also originally went east from Fullerton to Genoa along the current NE 22, then northwest to Albion along current NE 39.[http://www.dm.net/~chris-g/ne1-30.html#NE-14 The Nebraska Highways Page: Highways 1 to 30] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629155514/http://www.dm.net/~chris-g/ne1-30.html |date=2011-06-29 }} When originally extended to Niobrara, it went north through Center along the current Nebraska Highway 13.
Nebraska Highway 14 previously ended in Niobrara, but in 1998, the Chief Standing Bear Memorial Bridge was opened. The bridge, which was named for the former Ponca Indian chief, crosses over the Missouri River and replaced a long-standing river ferry which crossed at the same site. The completion of this bridge made it a cross-state highway.
