Husker Game Day Traffic Guide | Lincoln News

0:00Alright, so if you're planning on hitting up any Husker events in Lincoln this Saturday, you're going to want to hear this. We've got the Nebraska volleyball team playing Georgia Tech at 2 p.m. and then the football squad goes up against bowling green at 6 p.m. That's a double header of action and you know what that means. Traffic. Lincoln transportation and utilities is putting out the word, give yourself an extra 30 minutes to an hour for travel time. You're even opening up exit 401A on I-180 South starting at 10 a.m. for Westbound traffic for my 80. Just a heads up that exit closes again at half time of the football game but it'll reopen for future football pre-game traffic. People heading into town are being told to plan ahead, check traffic conditions before they roll out and think about parking. You can even reserve parking spots online beforehand if you want to avoid the scramble. And as always follow the signs, be patient and watch out for pedestrians and cyclists, especially around the stadiums.

1:00For those coming from Omaha or the Northeast, you've got a few exit options off I-80 including the Lincoln Airport exit and the 27th Street exit, both of which are clear of construction. If you're coming from the East, South or West, there are specific route recommendations to help you navigate into the city. It's all about being prepared to avoid the headache. You're also pointing folks to resources like the Waze app and the Nebraska Department of Transportation's website for real time updates. So get your route mapped out, leave a little earlier and hopefully you'll be there in plenty of time to catch all the action. Stay informed with Lincoln News today. AI-powered updates.
