May 7, 2021 Nebraska Medicine says construction crews will close Dewey Avenue Saturday morning, May 8th, from approximately 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. for placement of a crane for a future expansion project at UNMC.
The emergency room at 4350 Dewey Ave. will remain open and accessible via 44th Street during this time.
The actual expansion project in the Nebraska Medicine Core Lab will be taking place later this month, when Dewey Avenue will again be blocked for a period of two days.
Information about the rerouting of traffic for that project will be shared prior to that date.

Between 2015 and 2019, the owner and employees at Rochester Pawn & Gold sold more than $12 million in stolen items purchased from shoplifters, many of whom were addicted to opioids, federal officials claimed.
The individuals were recruited to steal the items, officials said, adding that this type of fraud helped fuel the local opioid epidemic. In 2018 and 2019, 13 people who sold items to the pawn shop overdosed within five days. Three of the overdoses were fatal.
Eric Finnefrock, 29, of Rochester, one of three men accused in the scheme, pleaded guilty on April 28 to one count of conspiracy to transport stolen goods in interstate commerce. Charges against store owner Thomas Nary and employee Ralph Swain are still pending.
