Lancaster County engineer announces 30th bridge opening since 2016

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A new $1 million bridge in northwest Lancaster County opens Tuesday afternoon.

County Bridge E-38 on NW 105th Street is in between Malcolm village limits and the Malcolm Ball Field.

The original bridge, built in 1954, was damaged in the 2015 and 2019 floods, according to a press release.

Lancaster County Engineer Pam Dingman said it’s the 30th bridge opening since 2016.  There are now only three closed bridges in the county.

“This is a significant milestone for the citizens of Lancaster County which will ensure that our community’s transportation system remains reliable into the future,” Dingman said in the release.

The Lancaster County Engineering Department is planning to build five more bridges this year.
