\n

On Thursday, construction workers began pouring cement to restore the southern section of 42nd<\/sup>\u00a0Street between Emile and Dewey Streets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The street \u2013 the main thoroughfare on UNMC\u2019s Omaha campus – is expected to reopen in late December. Landscaping will be completed in spring 2027. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the project is completed, that stretch \u2013 closed since summer 2025 – will include new sidewalks and a raised pedestrian crosswalk near Wittson Hall to increase visibility and narrow traffic lanes to slow traffic. The project also included installation of new underground utilities that feed Clarkson Tower and the east side of campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The north section of 42nd<\/sup>\u00a0Street between Dewey and Farnam Streets remains closed until July 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
