The City of Omaha is excited to announce the winning names from its snow plow naming contest: Scoop Dogg and Darth Blader. These creative names were selected by Omaha residents in a recent community vote. 

TCSP-28(114) N. Downtown Riverfront Pedestrian Bridge; C.N. 22571

The North Downtown Riverfront Connector Bridge project will span Riverfront Drive and the Union Pacific Railroad, linking the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge to near 10th and Mike Fahey Streets. This project aims to improve bicycle and pedestrian access between the riverfront and North Downtown Omaha. Currently, the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, which connects the trail systems of Omaha and Council Bluffs, is challenging to access from North Downtown destinations like TD Ameritrade Stadium, CHI Health Center, and Creighton University. The new bridge, also known as “Baby Bob,” will complete this connection and promote redevelopment in both areas.
