EDITOR’S NOTE: The following is a note from UNMC Facilities Management and Planning.
Reconstruction starts Monday on the southeast and southwest corners of the Saddle Creek Road and Farnam Street intersection. When completed, the walking distance between the two corners will be shortened.
The southeast corner will be moved west, eliminating the right turn lane. The sidewalk on the southwest corner will be expanded for additional standing area.
All pedestrians crossing at this intersection are encouraged to cross north of the intersection during the reconstruction.
Crossing Saddle Creek Road at spots other than approved intersections is both against the law and dangerous.
The intersection reconstruction should be completed by the end of next week.
