2035 Long Range Plan for the Omaha metro area

[Revive 755]

In the 2035 plan, there is a new proposed freeway on between the I-680/ County Road interchange in Iowa and the Storz Expressway:

Wow that "beltway" would be highly ambitious.  Are they really expecting Omaha to sprawl that much?

They've also got a proposed freeway connection between the south end of the US 75 freeway and the northern I-29/US 34 junction in Iowa; something I too have thought of.

They should add a project to elevate I-680 out of the floodplain of the Missouri River.  This past summer was a clear indication they need to do that.
