This project includes construction of new turn lanes at three locations on North 70th Street to improve access to the new Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS) correctional facility. Construction will take place at the vacated portion of McKelvie Road, Arbor Road, and the main entrance of the new correctional facility. The addition of the turn lanes will significantly improve access to the facility, ensuring that traffic can safely enter and exit the site without congestion. These lanes are designed to accommodate the traffic that will be generated by the new facility, which is expected to serve a large number of individuals and staff.
Construction is expected to take place in 2026.
Lane closures and a full closure of North 70th Street between vacated McKelvie Road and Bluff Road are planned.
