The Saddle Creek Road Relocation Feasibility Study is studying potential options for relocating Saddle Creek Road between Leavenworth Street and Cuming Street.  The purpose of the Project is to provide safe, reliable and efficient movement of vehicles and pedestrians to and through the study area and to reduce roadway flooding of Saddle Creek Road. 

Benefits of the Project include a better roadway system and more contiguous property to support future UNMC campus expansion and an improved residential and commercial urban community.  The Study Area for the project is generally bounded by Cuming Street on the north, Center Street on the south, 42nd Street on the east and 52nd Street on the west. 

This Project is being sponsored by The City of Omaha and the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) in cooperation with the Nebraska Department of Roads and the Federal Highway Administration.
