J Street Closed for Major Road Work | Lincoln News

J Street in Hastings, Nebraska, is fully closed between Elm Ave and U.S. 6 as crews tackle the Hastings Southeast Project—ripping up old pavement to lay fresh concrete. The entire corridor from Showboat Road to J Street will shrink to two lanes plus a center turn lane, adding to traffic headaches for locals already dealing with heavy congestion, speeding, and accidents. The Nebraska DOT urges big rigs and all drivers to avoid J Street entirely, rerouting east/west traffic to U.S. 6 and north/south travelers to Showboat Road. Expect delays—patience is key while they upgrade this busy stretch. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
