Heading to Lincoln to cheer on the Nebraska football and volleyball teams Saturday? Follow the recommended routes below.

With a busy game day ahead, plan your route before you leave, allow extra time and stay alert for increased traffic and pedestrians. Drive with caution and follow posted signs and traffic control. If your game day plans involve drinking, plan ahead by lining up a sober ride or using a rideshare service.

Drive safe, Husker fans. Go Big Red!

We’re grateful to our federal partners for joining us last week to highlight new opportunities for transportation innovation across Nebraska.

The $5.15 million in technical assistance grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration will help NDOT and its partners explore smarter ways to plan, finance and deliver major transportation projects.

By working together, we can find new ways to move projects forward and continue building a strong transportation system for Nebraskans.

As students walk and bike to school, drivers need to slow down and be ready to stop for children in school zones.

Nebraska school zone speed limits range from 15-25 mph. At 25 mph, drivers need 152 feet to stop.
Speeding at 30 mph increases that to 196 feet. At 45 mph, it takes 359 feet, nearly the length of a football field.

The assignment for Nebraska drivers this school year is simple: slow down, pay attention and help keep kids safe.

Gov. Jim Pillen joined the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Build America Bureau, the Federal Highway Administration and NDOT today to highlight a new initiative to accelerate the delivery of transportation projects across seven counties in Nebraska.

The initiative is fueled through $5.15 million in federal funds from the Build America Bureau and FHWA, including a $1.15 million Regional Infrastructure Accelerator (RIA) Grant, $2 million through the Innovative Finance and Asset Concession (IFAC) Program, and $2 million awarded with the Omaha-Council Bluffs Metropolitan Area Planning Agency under the Prioritization Process Pilot Program.

These grants will help NDOT modernize its business practices, expedite projects and deliver faster, safer and more efficiently for Nebraskans. Read more at https://ndot.info/9e7e26

Gear up for a busy travel weekend and make a game plan!

Between the first Husker game and Labor Day weekend, plan ahead for construction and delays, and know your route before you hit the road.

Use Nebraska 511 to check road conditions and construction impacts before you leave. Heading to the game? Use Waze to navigate around local traffic and closures once you’re in Lincoln.

***UPDATE: Drivers can take I-180 when traveling into Lincoln. Please drive with caution through work zones.***

With the first Husker football game of the season just days away, Lincoln Transportation and Utilities, the Nebraska State Patrol, the Lincoln Police Department, and NDOT are urging drivers to plan ahead before making the trip to Memorial Stadium. This season, game day traffic patterns will be different due to ongoing construction projects in the Lincoln area.

Fans coming into Lincoln from Omaha and eastern Nebraska are asked to use one of these recommended routes:

-I-80 to Exit 409 for Waverly/US-6 and follow US-6 west to Cornhusker Highway.

-I-80 to Exit 405 to 56th Street.

-I-80 to Exit 403 at 27th Street to Salt Creek Roadway.

-If you miss the recommended exits above, you can take I-180, or proceed on I-80 to the Lincoln Airport Exit 399 to NW 12th Street that turns into Cornhusker Highway, to I-180 south into downtown Lincoln.

Plan ahead by using Nebraska 511 to plan your route, and downloading the Waze app to help navigate within Lincoln. Drive safe this football season. Go Big Red!
