The Farnam Street Bridge in Omaha is fully closed for reconstruction as part of the streetcar project, disrupting traffic and local businesses.
The Farnam Street Bridge in Omaha, Nebraska, has been fully closed as part of the Omaha Streetcar Project, with demolition completed and reconstruction expected to last until late fall.
The closure, which began after a temporary I-480 shutdown from Jan. 9 to 12, disrupts access between Omaha and Blackstone, affecting local businesses like Site-1 Brewing.
Detours are in place for drivers, with multiple street closures and lane restrictions, including 28th Street and the Farnam-Turner intersection.
The project includes rebuilding the bridge to match the Harney Street Bridge design, with utility work and construction ongoing.
City officials plan to meet with business owners to address concerns over economic impacts, amid uncertainty about long-term benefits from the streetcar and new developments.
