Project Summary
The City of Lincoln’s ¼ cent sales tax is providing funding for the rehabilitation of 40th Street from “A” Street to just south of “O” Street. These repairs include a mill and overlay of the existing asphalt surface with repairs to the base layer as needed, and widening of 40th Street from “A” to “O” streets. Additional work with other funding sources includes upgrades to the existing sidewalk ramps to comply with federal and local standards.
This work is being coordinated with a water main replacement project, which will take place before street resurfacing begins.
The reconstruction of the intersection of 40th and Randolph streets is included in a separate project.
Funding Details
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 could begin as early as late summer 2025 and is anticipated to be completed in summer 2026.
Access During Construction
The project will require lane closures during construction on 40th Street. Work will be scheduled in phases, with the first phase taking place on 40th Street from “A” to Randolph streets. Sidewalk closures will be necessary while curb ramps are being replaced.
