Lincoln residents are invited to a pre-construction open house regarding transportation improvements to 27th Street between Nebraska Parkway and South Street. It will be held Thursday, May 14 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Ortner Center at Union Adventist University.
This Lincoln on the Move project will focus on maintaining and improving the existing street and infrastructure. Improvements include concrete repair and replacement, joint and crack sealing, curb and median repair or replacement, mill and overlay, public utility adjustments, updated pavement markings, and storm drain inlet top replacements.
The project does not include widening the street. Additional work with other funding sources would include signal replacements at Woods Boulevard, Sheridan Boulevard, and Van Dorn Street; upgrades to existing curb ramps to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements; and water main repairs and lead service line replacements.
This estimated cost of the improvement project is $5.45 million. Construction funding would come from a combination of Lincoln on the Move, Highway Allocation Fund, and Lincoln Water System funds. Construction will begin soon.
Residents are invited to attend and give input and ask questions.
