COVID-19 isn’t effecting the construction schedule of the South Beltway
Friday, the Nebraska Department of Transportation reported the beltway is on schedule to be open to traffic in spring 2023.
The Department said it has been working closely with the contractor on the project, Hawkins Construction of Omaha, since March 23 to
overcome financial challenges that threatened to delay the project. Confirmation that Hawkins is able to deliver on the original schedule comes after the announcement that all conditions required for Financial Close have been satisfied.
