Portion of East “A” Street to Reopen Today

Published on January 22, 2021

East “A” Street between South 84th and South 98th streets will temporarily reopen at 4 p.m. today.  The street is scheduled to close again in March when work resumes. The project is expected to be completed in June.  

This Lincoln on the Move growth project is designed to improve safety and traffic flow by constructing one lane in each direction with raised center median and roundabouts at the intersections of South 89th and South 93rd streets.  Americans with Disabilities accessible sidewalks, lighting and utility construction will also be completed as part of this project.

Lincoln on the Move street improvement projects are funded through the quarter-cent sales tax Lincoln citizens approved to assist with enhancement and maintenance of Lincoln streets.  Collection began October 2019.  The Advisory Committee on Transportation (ACT) public group meets regularly to make recommendations on priority street projects for Lincoln on the Move.
