Lincoln Transportation and Utilities is hosting an open house Wednesday, August 7, regarding an upcoming Lincoln on the Move street improvement and water main project on 17th Street. The event will be from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Bennett Martin Public Library auditorium, 136 S. 14th St.
“The Lincoln on the Move street improvement project will invest in about 1.3 miles of 17th Street from “A” to “S” streets. These improvements will include a mill and overlay of the existing surface and base repairs where required, joint and crack sealing, public utility adjustments, pavement markings and inlet top replacements,” said Lincoln Project Delivery Manager Kris Humphrey. “Additional work with other funding sources may include upgrades to the existing curb ramps to comply with the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.”
Street improvement work is being done in coordination with a water main replacement project on 17th Street from “A” to “H” and “K” to “O” streets.
Water main construction will begin in August 2024 and is expected to be completed in winter 2024. Street construction will begin in fall 2024 and is expected to be completed in summer 2025.
