Nebraska DOT wants to help Husker football spring game attendees navigate to Memorial stadium as smoothly as possible with road construction already underway in and around Lincoln.
On Husker home game days, traffic increases on I-80 and highways and roads in and around Lincoln. Between Omaha and Lincoln alone, there’s nearly 30% more vehicles on I-80. Fans and drivers should be prepared for traffic slowdowns before and after the event.
Be aware that construction activities are occurring on routes traditionally used by drivers on their way to the stadium. NDOT, in partnership with the Nebraska State Patrol, University of Nebraska, and the City of Lincoln, are recommending the following routes to fans:
For drivers arriving in Lincoln on I-80 from the west: Take Exit 397 (south U.S. Highway 77 (US-77)) to Rosa Parks Way into downtown Lincoln.
