With more than 100,000 people expected each day, those attending the Lincoln "Guardians of Freedom Airshow" this Saturday, August 26th and Sunday, August 27th are advised to plan for heavy traffic.
The free event is from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. each day in Airpark, NW. 38th Street.
The City of Lincoln, Nebraska Department of Transportation, and Nebraska State Patrol say, like a football Saturday, a large increase in traffic in and around the Capital City and on Interstate 80 can lead to sudden slowdowns and congestion.
Travel notes:
From I-80, take the NW. 48th Street, Exit 395 and head north following the airshow signs.
From West “O” Street, take NW. 48th Street and head north following the airshow signs.
From eastbound U.S. 34, turn onto NW. 48th Street and head south following airshow signs.
From westbound 34, turn onto the NW. 27th Street exit and head south following airshow signs.
StarTran Route 46-Arnold Heights riders are encouraged to plan for delays.
