Traffic Delays Expected June 22 and 23 for Girder Transportation

Published on June 21, 2021

Drivers should expect delays Tuesday, June 22 and Wednesday, June 23, while concrete bridge girders are transported through Lincoln to the South Beltway Project. From 8 to 9 a.m. and 2 to 3 p.m. each day, the Lincoln Police Department will escort three girder transport vehicles from North 63rd Street and Cornhusker Highway to 27th Street, then south to the project location near Saltillo Road. 

Intersections along the route will be closed as transport vehicles pass through. Southbound travelers on 27th Street are encouraged to find an alternate route during these times. 

Lincoln Transportation and Utilities (LTU) reminds drivers to exercise caution and appreciates the public’s patience during this project. LTU project dates are subject to change due to weather and unforeseen circumstances.
