This
week, work is resuming on the Union Street lift station and sewer
upgrades in Lincoln. Currently, the 800 block of Union Street, south
of the Woodlawn/Union intersection, is closed until further notice.
The city has invested in

evolves.
From the lift station site to
the south end of Union, materials for the project are sitting at the
ready.
