School Commutes Hit by Major Road Closures | Lincoln News

School’s back in Lincoln, but major roadwork is causing chaos for students and parents—expect delays and detours as key routes near schools are shut down for months or even a full school year. Vine Street between 66th and 70th is closed until late fall 2026, impacting Meadow Lane Elementary. South 27th Street at Van Dorn is closed until August 17th, with the entire street shut down for the rest of the year, affecting Irving Middle School. Plus, South 48th Street between Sumner and Normal Blvd is undergoing water main work all year long.
