The Nebraska Department of Transportation is sending notice of a Highway Improvement Project identified as I-80 WB, Q St - Giles Rd. The proposed project would improve approximately 1.21 miles of Interstate 80 in Douglas and Sarpy Counties.
The proposed work on I-80 would begin at the Harrison Street Bridge over I-80 and extend east to 0.1 miles west of the grade separation under Q Street approximately mile marker (MM) 444.45. Construction may begin and/or end approximately 1,000 feet ahead of or beyond the actual project limits to accommodate transitioning the pavement or traffic shifts.
The purpose of the proposed project is to preserve the transportation asset, improve the reliability of the transportation system and perpetuate the mobility of the traveling public.
This project would be constructed primarily under traffic with lane closures controlled by appropriate traffic control devices and practices; however, temporary detours and overnight work would be required to complete some of the work.
- Harrison Street Bridge would be closed overnight for approximately 10 nights.
- Harry Anderson Avenue and Eastport Parkway would be closed under I-80 overnight for approximately 3 nights.
- The I-80 WB Giles off-ramp would be closed for approximately 2-weeks. A detour will be provided utilizing the next off-ramp and Harrison Street.
- The I-80 EB Giles on-ramp would be closed for approximately 2-weeks. A detour would be provided utilizing Giles Road, Harrison Street and the next on-ramp.
Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in spring of 2025 and be completed in winter of 2025.
