OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — Road work will soon begin to expand Interstate 680 from just south of Pacific Street to the Dodge interchange, adding new lanes to ease traffic congestion.
- The need for the project is based on a study by NDOT and the Metropolitan Area Planning Agency, which found that traffic in the area is increasing.
- Navigating through 680 is a daily struggle for neighbors, who told us the construction is a short-term pain for a long-term gain.
- NDOT said this project has to happen before other improvements at the 680-Dodge interchange can be made.
