To reduce noise pollution for residents near the North Freeway, the Omaha City Council approved $1.8 million to construct sound barriers along a section of Highway 75. The decision, made during Tuesday's council meeting, aims to improve the quality of life for those living adjacent to the busy highway.
The project will focus on constructing barriers along the northbound lanes of Highway 75 between Fort Street and Ames Avenue. Increased traffic volume in recent years has caused rising noise level
