The City of Gretna contracted with JEO Consulting Group (JEO) to provide engineering design services for Capehart Road between U.S. Highway 6 (Highway 6) and the eastern edge of GXP. This segment serves as a primary access route supporting the park. In addition to design services, JEO provided construction administration and observation for the GXP-supported portion of the project, as well as for an adjacent segment of roadway being constructed concurrently by Sarpy County. The county’s portion, designed by Lamp Rynearson, supports incoming residential development.

Thiele Geotech, Inc. provided geotechnical engineering and materials testing services; Midwest Right of Way Services, Inc. managed right-of-way acquisition; Olmsted & Perry Consulting Engineers, Inc. completed the traffic signal design; and Graham Construction, Inc. served as the general contractor for both roadway segments.

Project funding was a collaborative effort among the City of Gretna, Sarpy County, and the developer of an adjacent subdivision. To effectively manage the complexities of blending public and private funding sources, the JEO team worked closely with all stakeholders to develop an interlocal agreement that clearly defined cost-sharing terms and responsibilities.

The first two phases of construction were completed prior to GXP’s grand opening in September 2023. Construction then progressed eastward toward the edge of GXP, where the roadway tied into the Sarpy County segment. Coordinating separate design teams, phased construction plans, coordinate systems, and multiple clients required detailed planning and consistent communication.

Today, Capehart Road features enhanced safety improvements and is well-positioned to support continued growth and development in the area.
