It was only supposed to be open on the north end, which it is now. I think the south end to Pacific will be later this year.

Re: 156th between Dodge and Pacific

Walked through this yesterday and the road is mostly done for the whole stretch. 2 out of 3 traffic signals are up with Howard yet to be done. The road is now open from Dodge to the new north entrance of Kiewit.

Still have retaining wall work along 156th remaining to be done.

I don't think it's really signs of fall yet. We haven't even passed halfway through summer. NOAA had predicted August to be cooler than normal for the center of the country.
