Another construction project slated for West Omaha will soon force many drivers in the area of 150th and Dodge to reroute their travels. The 150th Street Bridge will be demolished and replaced which means traffic down below is sure to be impacted, as well.

Kay Clinton lives off 148th & California. She takes the 150th Street Bridge every single day. But just Tuesday she got a letter in the mail stating that starting next Monday, 150th Street will be closed.

This is to make way for a new bridge that'll be part of a much bigger project. It’s a project that'll streamline traffic directly to the West Farm Development by Noddle Companies in the old Boys Town farm fields.

Keep in mind, to take down the bridge, parts of West Dodge Road will have to be closed. Westbound traffic will be impacted not this weekend, but the following. Eastbound will be impacted the weekend after that.

"At least they were thoughtful enough to do it on the weekend,” Clinton said. But for Westside Church Pastor Curt Dodd the weekend road work is what worries him.

“The ingress and egress into our parking lot, on the weekends, because we run several thousand, and that's a lot of cars between three services,” Dodd said.

But like many who live in the area, Pastor Dodd believes this is a sign of progress. He says alternate routes are only temporary.

"People get in a schedule and pattern of how they do traffic, and we're going to have to flex a little bit,” Dodd said.

"Absolutely. But if that's the worst thing we have to do in our life, we're good. Just find another route. We'll be fine,” said Clinton.
