A downtown Lincoln street closure for Christmas light installation has been rescheduled for Monday, Nov. 9, after rain canceled the original work date. P Street between 12th and 13th streets will close from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., according to Lincoln Transportation and Utilities.

The work was originally scheduled for Nov. 2. The recommended detour is 11th Street to M Street to 17th Street, and drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes and exercise caution near the closure.

Four StarTran routes will be detoured during the work:

  • Route 24 — Holdrege
  • Route 27 — North 27th
  • Route 42 — Bethany
  • Route 49 — University Place

Bus route and detour information is available at lincoln.ne.gov/transit or by calling 402-476-1234. Current street closure information is available at lincoln.ne.gov/closures and through the Waze app.

The city says project dates may change because of weather or unforeseen circumstances.
