The original completion date for the Zorinsky trail reopening planned for 10/22/2024 has been extended in duration by 34 days to 11/25/2024. The public is asked to continue to abide by the public notification dated June 2020 (Public Notification of Trail) below, under the banner "Community Engagement".
*Please take notice*
ALL PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC is strictly prohibited and advised to stay out of the areas of bridgework construction on/along S 168th Street between the north and south lake drive entrances. All areas between these two points continue to be worked on by our contractors and are highly dangerous at any time with equipment and other such items taking place.
The City of Omaha Police Department has been advised of the ongoing problems involved with the safety of all and will be monitoring the situation.
168th Street West Center Road to Q St
The existing two-lane roadway is at capacity and often experiences delays during the peak hours. Improving safety for all transportation users, enhancing traffic operations, decreasing peak hour congestion, and improving drainage control are the primary benefits of the project.
