The Nebraska Department of Roads advises motorists of several reminders when traveling to and from the next Husker football game in Lincoln on Saturday, October 1.

In an effort to relieve congestion on US-6 and around the Waverly Interchange (I-80 Exit 409), motorists leaving Lincoln and wishing to travel east on I-80 are urged to access the interstate at one of the other Lincoln interchanges: Exit 397 (South US-77), Exit 399 (Airport), Exit 401 (I-80/I-180 Interchange), Exit 403 (27th Street), or Exit 405 (56th Street).

An additional option for heading out of Lincoln is to use US-77 north. The northbound Superior Street on-ramp to I-180 will also be closed after each home game. This allows for traffic from I-180 downtown to keep moving faster without having to watch on-ramp activity.

Motorists are reminded to buckle up and pay close attention to the increased traffic both before and after Husker football games.

Use 511 resources before you travel to be aware of possible construction. Call 511 or 800-906-9069 and follow the prompts. 511 is available on the web at www.511.nebraska.gov.
