Project Summary
Lincoln on the Move is investing in improvements to approximately a half-mile of 27th Street from Coronado Drive to Old Cheney Road. These improvements may include a mill and overlay, pavement repair, public utility adjustments, inlet top and curb repairs or replacement. Additional work with other funding sources may include upgrades to the existing curb ramps to comply with the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
Funding Details
This project is programmed as a part of the commitment to voters to invest significant sales tax funds into improvement of existing streets. The project will be funded jointly from the Highway Allocation Funds (aka-Gas Tax) and ¼ cent sales tax for streets in accordance with ballot language.
Schedule
Construction is expected to begin in the 2023 construction season.
Access During Construction
On 27th Street south of Old Cheney Road, the contractor will be required to maintain one lane of traffic in each direction during construction, with the exception of a three week period where there will be a total closure at Old Cheney Road. Prior to the total closure there will be message boards notifying motorist of the upcoming closure. During the partial closures, left turns may be limited and require an alternate route into the neighborhoods.
Sidewalk closures will be necessary to replace curb ramps, however, one direction of sidewalk will remain open at all times.
