Archie Carpenter, construction project manager for UNMC Facilities Management and Planning, recommends motorists avoid the intersection during that time, if possible, although lanes will remain open throughout construction. Completion is anticipated in early to mid-September.<\/p>\n<p>The improvements include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adding, at the northeast corner of the intersection, a right-hand turn lane going from westbound Leavenworth Street to northbound 42nd Street. This will take about three weeks.\n<li>Adding, at the northwest corner of the intersection, a right-hand turn lane going from southbound 42nd Street to westbound Leavenworth Street, This will begin around July 25.\n<li>Adding a left-hand turn signal for people going south on 42nd Street and wanting to go east on Leavenworth Street.\n<li>Adding a left-hand turn signal for people going east on Leavenworth and wanting to go north on 42nd Street.<\/ul>\n<p>The improvements follow the swapping of land between UNMC and Charlie Graham, which has begun site work to relocate from the northwest corner of 42nd and Leavenworth to the southeast corner, a former UNMC parking lot. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Adding turn lanes and left-turn signals will help the flow of traffic through this busy intersection,&#8221; Carpenter said, noting how approximately 20,000 vehicles flow through the intersection per day. <\/p>\n<p>The Omaha Metro bus stop, currently on the northwest corner, likely will move across the street to the southwest corner, but details will be provided at a later date. In time, the existing Charlie Graham building will be razed and the area along either side of 42nd Street will become a landscaped entrance to UNMC.<\/p>\n<p>Sidewalks will be impacted during each phase of construction, Carpenter said. Pedestrians should follow signs and take extra precautions when walking near the construction area.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beginning in July, UNMC will work
