Maybe someday when the I-80 bridge is in need of replacement, they'll design it to where they can straighten 132nd more. But that is probably many decades away. 132nd in this area is only considered a collector; not even a minor arterial. It's doubtful you'll ever see any major changes between Giles...

Well, apparently that plan never came to fruition. Some of these project are proposed projects take a long time to get going. 180th Street over the UP finally got built. 192nd Street over the UP is still proposed to happen some day. I would assume with 132nd Giles, there are just a lot more pressin...

Saw on the message signs that a lane shift will be happening on Thursday. So seems like they will be at least doing what I posted above.

Still a fair amount of activity on this project. Sidewalks are poured on the south side of Pacific, Traffic lights for the EB lanes are erected, along with signage on 156th for left turns onto Pacific. I would be surprised if they don't wrap up work on the medians during this upcoming stretch of dr...

I'm surprised they aren't going to get this done before winter and will pause until spring. The road looks like it's fully paved with only work left on the sidewalks, medians, and traffic signals. Could certainly be more I'm not seeing, but they've been going to town on this the past few weeks. Figu...

Nice, thanks for the updates! It was probably a pretty nice day to be out there.

Good to see how Crossroads is going too.

They are now officially starting to rebuild the building that burnt down.

UNMC has a draft plan but no timeline or specifics. https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2023/11/08/unmc-declares-interest-in-second-phase-of-omaha-streetcar-route/ The University of Nebraska Medical Center said Wednesday it is interested in participating in a second phase of Omaha’s modern streetcar projec...

Work starting north of Millard North. A crane has been assembled and some big drillers.

According to DOGIS it's owned by Broadmoor, so looks like apartments.

Yeah I hate that standard time starts this weekend. It's when my seasonal depression goes through the roof. Not much time for walks after work once that hits. I get that it sucks to get up in the dark and I'm struggling with it right now, but having that extra hour at a more beneficial time is reall...

I love that there will be three tower cranes around GLM now.

I saw the string of Starlink satellites one evening last week. It was pretty crazy to see.

Yeah I haven't even tried on my 6th gen I7 and 1080ti. Next March is time to build a new rig.

Wow! Is this north of the existing development?

Lake is starting to be filled again. I'm interested in knowing how long that takes. I really forgot that Standing Bear was closed, how long has it been? It was my go to lake, but Cunningham has been a great (pun intended) stand in, I really just haven't thought to go Standing Bear's way. Has the wh...

Streets are starting to be poured in the residential area west of Millard North. The trail and ponds are really starting to come together on the west end. Guessing this should finally be finished up next year. There's signs of something happening at the building that burnt down. They painted the rem...

Lake is starting to be filled again.

You could not pay me enough to do what they are doing.

156th Street is now open to Pacific, but no left turns are allowed currently at that intersection.

I-29 southbound to I-480 is now open.

IP ban list has been updated to hopefully eliminate the Reddit post copies from India. Please let me know if you notice any problems. The counties blocked are now China, Russia, and India.

One thing I'd like to point out - the ones closest to the interstate will likely come down with the next I-80 expansion currently slated for 2027.

Take care! Hope things turn out ok.

1.71" out around 156th & Dodge

Not really. IPs are only visible to mods/admins.

From this year's Moving the Metro: Starting summer 2023 through fall 2023, construction on accident investigation sites on I-80 at Giles Rd, 84th St, 72nd St, 60th St and 13th St will begin. These sites will be used by the Nebraska State Patrol to clear the road by moving and investigating crashes o...

It has been expanding southeast though. It originally was looking like it would completely miss us. We dropped about 9 degrees just now.

I hope it skirts past us... The rain last night was a nice surprise, though That's funny. I went outside at 2am cause I could hear rumbles of thunder. Initially I didn't know which way to look, so I assumed west, but wrong. I enviously watched the constant lightning to our east. I never did get rai...

I've been noticing some things about these new systems that have been put in relating to the flashing yellow arrows. They are much more pedestrian friendly than before. As someone who walks a lot, it's nice to have infrastructure that takes pedestrians into account. Some of the things I've noticed t...

yeah, I stumbled across this once before on the Papio NRD Website. Here's a good map https://www.papionrd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Final-NRD-POSTER.pdf In fact looks like they intend to start on a few projects this year https://www.papionrd.org/flood-control/the-time-to-act-is-now/ Nice find!...

EarthCam? You got a link?

Looks like it's the GLM webcam.

Anyone know what was wrong with the previous bridge ? Maybe it was just old and needed to be replaced ? Will be nice when this reopens, I'm sure a pretty big inconvenience for those living and working in the area. Excellent photos thanks. According to the project page : These bridges were construct...

Lots of paving action in the last week. The main lanes of SB 156th and WB Pacific are paved, forms are set to start pouring the intersection fill. Saw that last night. This project wasn't supposed to be done until next spring but at this rate, they may have it done before winter. One weird thing I ...

I do a lot of walking. Averaged 13k steps a day last month for a total of just over 400k steps and making 2m steps for the year with half of that done the last three months. Probably in the best shape of my life atm as I've always been very sedentary. I've only been ramping up over the last few year...
