The City of Lincoln proposes to mill and overlay 70th Street from Aylesworth Avenue to Adams Street starting the week of September 7, 2010 weather permitting. The existing pavement will be milled, the base will be repaired as needed, and the roadway will be overlaid with new asphalt. Sidewalks and ramps that are not ADA compliant will be reconstructed to meet minimum requirements. The contractor, Pavers Inc., has 21 days to complete the project.
During construction, 70th Street from Aylesworth Avenue to Adams Street will be closed to through traffic. 70th Street traffic will be detoured to Cotner Boulevard and 84th Street between Holdrege and Adams Streets. Local access will be maintained to businesses and residences adjacent to the project. Access to the school bus stops at the YMCA and Rosemont Alliance Church will be maintained for Kahoa Elementary School students being bused to the Abbott Sports Complex. Those using the bus stops are encouraged to use Huntington Avenue and Ammon Avenue to access these locations rather than entering the construction area at Aylesworth Avenue or Adams Street. Those needing to access Mickle Middle School from east of 70th Street are encouraged to use the signed detour. Leighton Avenue also may be used to cross 70th Street, except when the intersection is under construction.
