The City of Lincoln wants Lincoln residents to put April 7 on their calendars. A Project “O” Street pre-construction open house will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. in the lobby of Union Bank Place, near 13th and “O” Street.
Project “O” Street is an initiative to make enhancements from Ninth to 16th streets. The project includes the 14th Street Music District, the 11th Street Greenway, and surrounding spaces in downtown Lincoln.
Construction on Project “O” Street is scheduled to begin in mid-April and be completed in fall 2027. To maximize efficiency and minimize disruption in this area, the City will complete construction in three overlapping phases:
- Phase 1: Spring 2026 to late fall 2026 – 16th to 14th streets
- Phase 2: Fall 2026 to late spring 2027 – 14th to 11th streets
- Phase 3: Spring 2027 to fall 2027 – 11th to Ninth streets
Members of the project team will be available during the open house to answer questions and provide information about planned improvements, project phasing, and the construction schedule. No formal presentation is planned.
LTU says Project “O” Street builds on the City’s commitment to improving safety, mobility, and aesthetics throughout downtown while supporting continued economic growth. The event provides an opportunity for residents, property owners, and businesses to learn more about what to expect during construction and how the project will enhance the heart of Lincoln.
