Lincoln on the Move is investing in improvements to approximately one mile of 70th Street from Pioneers to Van Dorn streets. These improvements include concrete panel replacement, joint and crack sealing, curb and gutter repair, and replacement of inlet tops. Additional work with other funding sources includes rebuilding the traffic signal at 70th and Pioneers Boulevard, improvements to bus stop pads, and upgrades to the existing curb ramps to comply with the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
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.
Construction in anticipated to take place in 2027.
70th Street will remain open to traffic with one lane open in each direction.
