Residents of Lincoln know, Sixth Street Road, going west past Lincoln Parkway, is a rough stretch of road.

It's been nearly 30 years since plans have been in motion for the road to be worked on, but nothing has ever been done. That should change in 2026, says Lincoln Mayor Tracy Welch.

To get to this place, the City of Lincoln worked for many years to acquire land when the project had a large scope. Mayor Welch indicates, for now, the City of Lincoln will retain those parcels of land it acquired during the process.

The Mayor hopes to see dirt moving on Sixth Street Road as soon as this spring and anticipates it being multiple years before it is a finished product, but looks forward to having a nice street for that part of the community.

Sixth Street Road connects several neighborhoods to the City of Lincoln as well as houses several manufacturing plants on Lincoln's west side.
