The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) has announced its intent to proceed with the design and construction of a new I-80 interchange at 192nd Street in Sarpy County, southeast of Gretna.
“A new interchange between the existing Highway 370 (exit 439) and Highway 31 (exit 432) interchanges on I-80 will address gridlock, improve safety, and support economic development in the state’s largest metro area,” NDOT Director Vicki Kramer said. “This investment increases access to Nebraska’s main economic corridor, potentially attracting new growth while also alleviating existing safety concerns due to congestion.
With the announcement of the selected location, NDOT is formally moving the project to the next steps of development, which includes completing environmental reviews as part of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process and progressing with early design.
NDOT has already begun coordination with the Federal Highway Administration through the process of an Interstate Access Justification Report. This required document will explain NDOT’s proposed access changes to I-80, as well as its plans to ensure safety and operational
efficiency.
The new interchange will help alleviate traffic congestion in the Omaha metro area, which recently saw its population surpass one million, according to U.S. Census estimates. Sarpy County is one of Nebraska’s fastest-growing areas.
