Route description

Interstate 180 begins in downtown Lincoln as a four-lane freeway, heading north concurrent with US-34. From the south end of the freeway, US-34 heads south on a one-way pair consisting of North 9th Street southbound and North 10th Street southbound. At the southern terminus, I-180 has a northbound exit and southbound entrance with North 10th Street that serves the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus. The road passes over a Union Pacific/BNSF railroad line as it heads north between Haymarket Park to the west and residential areas to the east. I-180 crosses the Salt Creek and passes under US-6 before coming to a partial cloverleaf interchange with Cornhusker Highway that provides access to US-6. From this point, the freeway passes through more residential neighborhoods before coming to the Superior Street exit. A short distance later, I-180 reaches a cloverleaf interchange with I-80/US-77, where I-180 ends and US-34 continues to the west as a four-lane divided surface road called the Purple Heart Highway.^[1][2]
