A southwest Omaha road closed last month for pothole repair is expected to reopen this week. The reconstruction of South 144th Street between U and Q started in mid-March.
The damaged concrete has been completely removed and replaced. Concrete panel replacement is also underway at 152nd and Stoney Brook, 79th & K, 13th & Grace and the roads surrounding Westroads.
The City continues to take all pothole reports, including duplicates. The City estimates they have filled nearly 20,000 potholes since the beginning of April.
