Lincoln traffic may not exactly resemble L.A.'s.
Husker fans can experience that if they travel to Tinseltown to see the Huskers play USC in November. But for those sticking closer to home, getting around on a fall Saturday in the Capital City can still be a challenge. That's why it's good to come ready with a plan for getting to the game this football season, which kicks off with the Huskers' season opener against UTEP on Saturday at 2:30 p.
m. It's always important to note street projects that will lead to lane closures throughout the season: * North Ninth Street between S and R streets, North 10th Street from Q to R streets and Q Street between North 11th and 10th streets will have lane closures. * North First Street from Cornhusker Highway to Charleston Street will have a southbound lane closure.
Northbound traffic will be in a head-to-head configuration. * Sun Valley Boulevard from Line Drive to Westgate Boulevard will be reduced to one lane in both directions, controlled by a traffic signal, for the first half of the season. Additionally construction projects around Memorial Stadium may close some sidewalks.
Pedestrians are asked to walk in designated areas only. If you use public transportation to get to campus, you'll also want to be sure you know where Big Red Express buses are staging. Delays can be expected if you want to try to park close to Memorial Stadium.
Traffic will snarl, and you’ll likely creep along at some point, especially if you rely on heavily travel.
