Lincoln Transportation officials say southbound South 48th Street from Old Cheney Road to Briarpark Drive will be closed beginning Wednesday morning for the next phase of a Lincoln on the Move street improvement project.
The recommended detour is Nebraska Parkway to South 56th Street to Old Cheney Road. This work is scheduled to be completed by June 16. Improvements will include pavement repair, removal and replacement of pavement, public utility adjustments and median and curb repairs or replacement.
Additional work with other funding sources includes upgrades to the existing curb ramps to comply with the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. Lincoln on the Move is a six-year street investment effort focused on enhancing Lincoln’s street infrastructure that will dedicate an additional $94 million to street projects in Lincoln through 2025.
Digital signs will alert traffic to upcoming work and closures. Travelers are encouraged to seek an alternate route and exercise caution around the work zone.
