Nebraska Highway 103 is a highway in southeastern Nebraska. It is a discontinuous highway with two segments. The southern segment begins at Nebraska Highway 8 south of Diller and ends at U.S. Highway 136 north of Diller. The northern segment begins at Nebraska Highway 4 east of Plymouth and ends at Interstate 80 north of Pleasant Dale.
Route description Northern segment The northern segment of Nebraska Highway 103 begins at N-4, east of Plymouth. It heads in a northerly direction through farmland, turning briefly to the northwest as it passes through De Witt. After leaving De Witt, N-103 continues heading northward. In Wilber, it intersects with N-41. The highway continues heading north and slightly to the northwest until it meets N-33 in Crete. It runs concurrently with N-33 for about , passing through Crete. Just to the northeast of Crete, N-103 splits off and continues northward. After passing through Pleasant Dale, it intersects with US 6. Less than a mile later, N-103 intersects with I-80 where it then terminates.
Southern segment The southern branch of Nebraska Highway 103 begins at an intersection with N-8 south of Diller. It heads directly northward through farmland, passing through Diller along the way. At US 136 north of Diller, this segment of N-103 terminates and resumes about to the north.
History Northern segment The northern segment was first numbered N-82 as early as 1937. The renumbering of N-82 to N-103 occurred somewhere between 1962 and 1981. Also during this timeframe, N-103 was rerouted to the southwest of Crete and extended north through Pleasant Dale, terminating at a newly constructed interchange with I-80. Originally gravel before and around 1981, the section north of Crete has since been paved.
Southern segment The southern segment of N-103 largely follows today's alignment. However, according to the 1937 state highway map, its southern terminus was Diller. Between 1937 and 1940, N-103 was extended further south and terminated at Nebraska Highway 3 South (the current terminus), or present day N-4.
