Public works: 90th Street expansion still on track for November completion despite delays
Summary
Public works director Mike Clefner told the council the 90th Street expansion remains scheduled for November completion; delays included a surcharge settlement and a utility relocation issue with OPPD but crews have resumed work with an updated schedule.
Council members asked for an informational update on the 90th Street expansion during council comments. Public works director Mike Clefner responded that the project remains on the original timetable with completion scheduled for November.
Clefner described two causes of delay: a surcharge placed near Rawhide required additional time to settle (an extra two weeks beyond a planned 30-day period), and a utility relocation issue involving Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) that required additional line work. He said geotechnical review was satisfactory and contractors have resumed removal work. Clefner reported the contractor submitted an updated schedule and the city allowed some closures to accelerate removals and progress.
Council members asked for continued updates; Clefner said staff will monitor work and provide schedule information to neighbors as the project progresses.
