Military Road

Construction underway for extended Military Road pedestrian trail



Military Road is a major thruway in Douglas County but now — in northwest Omaha — it's a major headache for some residents. For months, State Street has been a construction scene; so has 156th Street. So when workers started tearing out Military Road, many wondered what was happening.

This seems very shortsighted. Diagonal roadways often help get people where they need/want to go much faster than having to take the stair step approach. Omaha has very few diagonal roads. We should be improving those we do have, not ripping them out!

This looks like its taking place on a stretch of it that isn’t connected to the rest of Military. 156th to about 152nd.

I remember when it did go through. I used to cruise it years ago.
