Traveling to Louisville by RV

Louisville sits at the intersection of US Highway 50 and State Highway 66, about 20 miles south of Omaha via Highway 50. RVers approaching from I-80 can take Exit 432 (Gretna) and follow Highway 31 south to Highway 50, then head west into Louisville.

The town's road network handles big rigs easily. Highway 50 through Louisville maintains wide lanes and gentle curves, while the business district offers several blocks of generous street width for maneuvering. No low bridges threaten tall RVs, and the few railroad crossings in town provide adequate clearance.

Winter road conditions typically stay manageable, though Highway 50 can get slick during ice storms. The state maintains this route well since it connects several recreation areas.

Keep emergency repair supplies on board since help isn't immediately available in town.
