Folsom Street in west Lincoln now open after months-long roadwork project

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A part of Folsom Street in west Lincoln is now open, officials said Friday.

Folsom Street was closed from West Old Cheney Road to West Pioneers Boulevard in the summer for the Lincoln on the Move project.

The project widened and improved about a half-mile of Folsom Street.  Crews also added turn lanes into the new Foxtail Meadows development.
