Nebraska Highway 116

File:Nebraska State Spur 1116.svg was designated as Nebraska State Spur 1116]]

N-116 begins a T intersection with N-15 on the Cedar–Dixon county line, west of Concord. (N-15 heads north toward Laurel and Hartington and south toward Wayne.) From its southern terminus, N-116 heads west–northwesterly for just over {{convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}} to reach the western end of Nebraska Spur 26B (S-26B), at a T intersection (east of Concord), having crossed over the Logan Creek Dredge on a truss bridge along the way. (S-26B heads southeast {{convert|2.76|mi|km|disp=sqbr}} to end at Concord.)

East of its junction with S-26B, N-116 curves to head north. After roughly {{convert|1.7|mi|km}} N-116 passes along the western edge of the village of Dixon, running along Richardson Street within the community. About a block after entering Dixon, N-116 crosses over two sets of railroad tracks owned by the Nebraska Northeastern Railway.

Beyond Dixon, N-116 continues north for approximately {{convert|1.3|mi|km}} to cross 870th Road. Immediately north of 870th Road, N-116 has a gradual jog to the east of about {{convert|700|ft|m}} before resuming it course to the north. About {{convert|1.6|mi|km}} farther north N-116 reaches its northern terminus at US 20. (US 20 heads east toward Jackson and South Sioux City, and then on to Sioux City in Iowa. US 20 heads west to Laurel and O'Neill. 577th Avenue continues north from the intersection as a dirt road toward Maskell,)

A gravel road from west of Concord to US 20 has been in the state highway system since 1937.{{cite map|url=http://www.transportation.nebraska.gov/maps/historical/pdf/1937%20Map.pdf|title=Official Map of Nebraska State Highway System|cartography=Nebraska Department of Roads and Irrigation|website=transportation.nebraska.gov|publisher=Nebraska Department of Transportation|format=PDF|date=August 1, 1937|accessdate=June 25, 2023|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304000130/http://www.transportation.nebraska.gov/maps/historical/pdf/1937%20Map.pdf|archivedate=March 4, 2016|via=Wayback Machine}} By 1948, the road was extended southwest to connect to N-15.{{cite map|url=http://www.transportation.nebraska.gov/maps/historical/pdf/1940%20Map.pdf|title=Official Map of Nebraska Highways|cartography=Nebraska Department of Roads and Irrigation|website=transportation.nebraska.gov|publisher=Nebraska Department of Transportation|format=PDF|date=April 1, 1940|accessdate=June 25, 2023|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150611162213/http://www.transportation.nebraska.gov/maps/historical/pdf/1940%20Map.pdf|archivedate=June 11, 2015|via=Wayback Machine}}{{cite map|url=http://www.transportation.nebraska.gov/maps/Statewide%20Traffic%20Flow%20Maps/historic/Statewide_Traffic_Flow_Map_48.pdf|title=1948 Traffic Flow Map of the State Highway System|cartography=Nebraska Department of Roads and Irrigation|website=transportation.nebraska.gov|publisher=Nebraska Department of Transportation|format=PDF|year=1948|accessdate=June 25, 2023|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304055725/http://www.transportation.nebraska.gov/maps/Statewide%20Traffic%20Flow%20Maps/historic/Statewide_Traffic_Flow_Map_48.pdf|archivedate=March 4, 2016|via=Wayback Machine}} The road became designated as N-116 by 1953,{{cite map|url=http://www.transportation.nebraska.gov/maps/Statewide%20Traffic%20Flow%20Maps/historic/Statewide_Traffic_Flow_Map_53.pdf|title=1953 Traffic Flow Map of the State Highways|cartography=Nebraska Department of Roads and Irrigation|website=transportation.nebraska.gov|publisher=Nebraska Department of Transportation|format=PDF|year=1955|accessdate=June 25, 2023|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303235131/http://www.transportation.nebraska.gov/maps/Statewide%20Traffic%20Flow%20Maps/historic/Statewide_Traffic_Flow_Map_53.pdf|archivedate=March 3, 2016|via=Wayback Machine}} two years before the official state highway system was created.{{cite map|url=http://www.transportation.nebraska.gov/maps/historical/pdf/st_hwy55-hi-res.pdf|title=State Highway System|cartography=Nebraska Department of Roads and Irrigation|website=transportation.nebraska.gov|publisher=Nebraska Department of Transportation|format=PDF|year=1955|accessdate=June 25, 2023|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140228160135/http://www.transportation.nebraska.gov/maps/historical/pdf/st_hwy55-hi-res.pdf|archivedate=February 28, 2014|via=Wayback Machine}}
