The article hadn't yet established that the route was originally I-280 through Omaha. Yes, it's mentioned in the lead, but you still have to establish your facts in the main portion of the article. Rereading it again, the section needs some more work, and neither revision improved the article overall.
It just didn't make sense chronologically. Here's how the article read, "In Nebraska, plans for former Interstate 280 to bypass Omaha to the north to I-29 were drawn up in the late 1950s." When Nebraska DOR drew up plans for what's now I-680, it was going to be called I-280. They didn't know that it wasn't going to be I-280 for a few years, so it couldn't have possibly been former I-280 yet.
"South of this interchange, I-680 traveled through residential neighborhoods", try to mention this eariler, preferably toward the beginning of the route description.
Reworked, plus I fixed the grammar error you missed. –

I don't think the NDOR log book or the Iowa DOT log discuss the physical surroundings of the route. Try using Google Maps or something similar here.
I've been thwarted by a lack of photography from the scenic overlook I mentioned, but I found a source that describes the scene from there. –

I still have concerns with the referencing in the route description. I do not think the neighborhood associations map can properly reference "Interstate 680 begins a complex interchange with I-80 in Omaha. Due to the proximity of the Center Road interchange on I-680 and the I and L Street interchanges on I-80, all of the exit and entrance ramps which connect I-80 to I-680 also connect either Center Road or I and L Streets." The NDOR log book cannot reference "South of this interchange, I-680 travels through residential neighborhoods, but to the east, the population thins and the interstate passes through farmland for 4+1⁄2 miles (7.2 km)." The Iowa DOT log cannot reference "In Iowa, Interstate 680 is markedly less urban than in Nebraska." Dough487201:19, 26 January 2012 (UTC)reply
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Can some more descriptive information and history be added to the lead?
Talked about the scenery, see below for history. –

Can some more information about the physical surroundings be added to the route description, particulually the first paragraph? Does it pass residential, commercial, or industrial surroundings? In addition, it may help to mention the
Westroads Mall, Nebraska's largest mall, is at the US 6 exit.
I still think mentioning the highway provides access to the mall is important and helps provide what kind of purpose I-680 can serve. A route description should mention attractions as to provide what the road is used to access. Dough487201:19, 26 January 2012 (UTC)reply
Added a couple sentences about going through West Omaha. I don't think the mall is relevant to the highway. –
Fredddie™
When discussing the I-29 concurrency, mention which direction the route heads.
It may be screwed up, but there were a lot of convert errors. It used {{
Convert/spell}}, which seems to have recently switched to requiring the second unit. It didn't require it before. –

So far, I have not seen anything in the news about the former I-80N in Iowa being changed from I-680 to
I-880. I know that AASHTO is on record as having approved such a change, but until there are news reports on the numbering change, and signs have been erected to reflect it, we should assume that the change is not yet in effect. When it does go into effect, the necessary changes can be restored.
