Homestead Expy
"Speedway to Beatrice and South Nebraska"
I have used Homestead Expressway many times when we have been on the road. If you are looking for sightseeing, there is nothing to see. This expressway jumps off I-80 and is a direct route for heading to southern Nebraska towns like Beatrice.
There are a few cross streets and businesses as you head down this road, but it is truly on the outskirts of Lincoln. There are a couple of traffic lights where you can turn into town, and when you first turn off, there is one major exit that has business (your typical gas stations, motels, restaurants, etc.) but for the most part, the street is barren.
While there isn't much to look at, this is certainly one of the fastest ways to head south. The Expressway is double lane for a long stretch which helps you make good time. It does eventually thin out once you get beyond Lincoln and the higher traffic areas, but traffic still manages to move quickly.
There probably will be some growth on the sides of the expressway in the future. Lincoln is growing amazing fast, so there is a good chance there will be more off ramps and businesses locating near there. But for right now, there just isn't much.
One thing, if you need gas, make sure you gas up prior to hitting the highway. There are long stretches before you see any gas stations. Also, since most of the stations are on the edge of smaller towns, their gas prices tend to be a bit higher.
