A major issue on one of its busiest roads has long been a focus for the City of Lincoln.

Lincoln Mayor Tracy Welch indicates Fifth Street Road in Lincoln on the west side of town has been a difficult road to travel for many years. For many years, repairing it has been discussed but never acted.

At one point in the last few years, there was the opportunity for a multi-million dollar renovation of a very worn-down stretch of road. Mayor Welch explains that is no longer on the table and now the City has to make some decisions on what to prioritize in its repair.

Mayor Welch says even though it is moving slowly, he believes they will continue to make progress towards grounding breaking. He believes that will likely come in 2025.
