From the article:
"After years of planning and construction"
Years? Try decades! The initial concept for this was conceived in the 1960's!
Former President Ronald Reagan once said that the scariest words in the English language are "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you."
This will help to alleviate a lot of heavy truck traffic Lincoln. Highway 2, which runs through south Lincoln, is used by trucks as a shortcut to go from Interstate 80 to southbound Interstate 29 in Iowa. Otherwise they have to go to Omaha to cross the Missouri river to get to I-29.
At least it's finally done.
