Within the coming weeks, the Riverfront Revitalization Project team will begin preparations for the next phases of park construction.
According to a release from the Metropolitan Entertainment & Convention Authority, if weather permits, access to Lewis & Clark Landing will become restricted at the end of August. MECA says this will include the partial closure of Riverfront Drive. MECA says an exact date is still to be determined, but will fall near Labor Day.
Riverfront Drive will close between the CHI Health Center Omaha Lot A entrance and the National Park Service Midwest Regional Headquarters, located at 601 Riverfront Drive. The NPS Headquarters, Riverfront Place condominium complex and Gallup will all still be accessible from Abbott Drive.
An map below helps to better illustrate the closure.
The Martin Luther King Jr. walking bridge will remain open throughout construction. The Lewis & Clark Landing renovations are the third phase of The RiverFront project, tentatively slated to reopen in the spring of 2023.
