Omaha, NE – CHI Health Center has started construction on its convention center expansion, which is taking place in the loading dock behind the venue.
Because of this, drivers traveling to Lot A will no longer be able to use the loading dock to access MECA Drive. Instead, they will need to enter and exit Lot A from 8th Street.
In addition, drivers in downtown Omaha should expect some traffic disruptions due to ongoing construction related to MUD (Metropolitan Utilities District) improvements near CHI Health Center. As part of this work, Capitol Avenue remains closed for the next couple of months.
Eastbound traffic on Capitol Avenue will not be able to continue past 10th Street. Drivers heading to Lot A will be redirected south on 10th Street to Douglas Street, where they can then connect with 8th Street.
Northbound traffic on 10th Street between Dodge Street and Capitol Avenue will be reduced to one lane during this time.
For those heading to events at CHI Health Center or other nearby venues, it’s a good idea to plan ahead and allow extra time. While the city’s traffic team is working to minimize disruptions, some delays are expected.
