Traffic closure near CHI Health Center will impact drivers entering and exiting Lot A.
Starting this week, on July 28, a temporary traffic disruption will affect drivers accessing CHI Health Center Omaha, specifically those parking in Lot A. As utility work begins for a new City of Omaha parking garage, NuStyle Development’s residential complex, and the new Omaha Children’s Museum south of the CHI Health Center Omaha, Douglas Street to Riverfront Drive will be closed east of 8th Street to around the Discovery Playground. 8th Street from Farnam will have the northbound lane restricted.
Work Involved: Sewer work within the street
Impact on Sidewalks: The north side sidewalk from Douglas Street to Riverfront Drive will be closed; however, the south side sidewalk will be open.
IMPACT ON CHI HEALTH CENTER OMAHA VISITORS:
Parking Lot A: This closure will directly impact those trying to enter or exit Lot A at CHI Health Center Omaha. Expect delays and possible detours as traffic is redirected around the construction zone.
Delays Getting In and Out of the Building: While the focus of the closure is on 8th Street, the detours and altered traffic patterns could lead to slower travel times when approaching or leaving the venue. Drivers should plan for extra time when traveling to or from CHI Health Center.
As work progresses, stay updated on traffic patterns and follow any posted signs or alternative routes to avoid delays.
