Final Push for South Locust Street | Lincoln News

0:00Alright, so we've got some roadwork wrapping up. South Locust Street, between Oklahoma Street and Anderson, is going to be shut down on Thursday. This is the final stretch of a pretty big project they've been pushing through. The folks in charge mentioned it wasn't exactly a walk in the park. Turns out this area is old, and the underground stuff, like utilities, wasn't always where they expected it to be. They even found some things they didn't know were there. Some abandoned, some just in the wrong place. Despite the headaches, it sounds like the people of Grand Island handled the detours and closures pretty smoothly. The project engineer drove around a lot this summer and said everyone seemed to figure out how to get where they needed to go, which is good to hear. They're also making sure to document everything with today's tech, so if they ever have to dig this up again down the line, they'll have a much better. Map to work from. This kind of detailed record keeping is a big upgrade from how things were done years ago. So, yeah, one last push on Thursday to get South Locust Street fully back in business.
