222nd Street closes for repaving between Harrison and Q through September
Douglas County shut 222nd Street between Harrison and W Q Road for repaving Wednesday, with a posted detour and reopening expected in early September.
Motorists on 222nd Street lost a through route Wednesday as Douglas County closed the stretch from Harrison Street to W Q Road for repaving, a shutdown expected to last through early September. The county said a detour will be posted, pushing traffic off the corridor that ties together west Douglas County road users, nearby homes and businesses, and the wider network feeding into Harrison and Q.
Douglas County Engineer Todd Pfitzer signed the road-closure notice on May 22, 2026. His office listed the closure as beginning Wednesday, May 27, 2026, and the county’s public contact number is (402) 444-6372. The work is part of a continuing set of road projects in western Douglas County, where major routes have been repeatedly affected by construction over the past year.
The county’s road-closures page also shows other pressure points in the same area. Harrison Street from 216th Street to 222nd Street was listed as closing August 4, 2025, with an expected run through late fall 2025. The same page says the Q Street closure from 192nd Street to 204th Street was later revised to an anticipated September 2026 completion because utility relocations slowed the schedule.
The ripple effects extend beyond Douglas County lines. In nearby northwest Sarpy County, officials said Harrison Street between 214th and 220th Streets was closed for grading, drainage and concrete paving, with West Q Road designated as the detour. Sarpy County described that work as a Douglas County-managed cost-shared project, another sign that the corridor is being rebuilt as part of a broader road-network improvement effort rather than as a single isolated project.
For now, the key marker for commuters is simple: 222nd Street is closed between Harrison and W Q Road, and the detour remains in place while the county repaves the roadway. Douglas County is signaling early September as the target for reopening, making this one of the season’s most visible disruptions for drivers moving through west Douglas County.
