This section of the Lincoln Highway, one of only 20 miles (32 km) that were paved with brick in Nebraska,[2] is one of the most well-preserved in the country.

Soon after the rerouting was completed, local officials from Blair came to Omaha and dug up the Lincoln Highway markers that lined the road, only to re-insert them in their town.

Other important landmarks along the highway included the Guy Barton Mansion, built in 1892 and demolished in 1982;[7] the Hupmobile dealership at 25th and Farnam, which is the last preserved Hupmobile dealership in the United States, and;[8] John Sutter's Mill, built in 1847 and the intersection of Saddle Creek Road and Dodge Street, immediately east of the Saddle Creek Underpass, was a landmark during the entire life of the Highway, and predated the incorporation of the neighboring towns of Dundee and Benson.

[3] The highway is currently marked by an interpretive pull-off maintained by the Omaha Public Power District, and there is a reconstructed pony truss bridge over the West Papillion Creek.

[2] There are seven historical markers lining the roadway, including a monument was erected by the Elkhorn Lincoln Highway Diamond Jubilee Committee in 1987.

[6] The city of Omaha proposed an approximately $633,000 plan to enhance the roadway with a 0.75-mile (1.21 km) paved trail to the south of the highway and informational kiosks.
