Lincoln Transportation and Utilities (LTU) today announced that northbound 56th Street at Leighton Avenue will close beginning Wednesday, September 4, to continue work on a Lincoln on the Move street improvement project. This work is scheduled to be completed by September 13.

The recommended detour is Holdrege Street to 48th Street to Adams Street.

Travelers are encouraged to seek an alternate route and exercise caution around this closure. LTU appreciates the public's patience during this closure and reminds residents that project dates are subject to change due to weather and unforeseen circumstances.

Lincoln on the Move is a six-year, quarter-cent sales tax street investment effort focused on enhancing Lincoln's street infrastructure that will dedicate an additional $100 million to street projects in Lincoln through 2025.
