Soon, I will gather with state and local officials to celebrate the opening of the Lincoln South Beltway.? This 11-mile, four lane freeway connects U.S. Highway 77 to the Nebraska Highway (N-2).? It?s expected to divert over 75% of the truck traffic to the new high-speed facility, saving significant travel time and bringing much needed relief to a congested thoroughfare through the city of Lincoln.? This project will also improve safety and regional connectivity. ?Whether driving their kids to school, commuting to work, or delivering essential goods through our region, all of Nebraska will benefit from this 21^st?century infrastructure.? Its opening was a priority for my administration, and I am happy to say that we have delivered on this monumental milestone that has been decades in the making.? It is the most complex project in Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) history.
