This project paved West Holdrege Street east of Northwest 48th Street to the intersection with the future Chitwood Lane and included the construction of a new roundabout. Also included were new water mains and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps and sidewalks. This will help serve future residential development to the north and south.
Lincoln on the Move funding was utilized in accordance with ballot language and supported by the Advisory Committee on Transportation (ACT).
The City already had several annexation agreements with developers regarding new streets in “growth” areas. However, many of these street projects could not get underway due to a lack of funding. The portion of the sales tax for new street construction to promote private sector investment helped move these projects forward.
Construction took place in 2022.
