The sidewalk <br />work will be followed by a pavement overlay the full length of the loop and some reconstruction work <br />in the commercial area on the north end of the loop. Work on that project is projected to be completed <br />by mid-May. <br />Over the next several months 17 major street repair projects are scheduled around the city. <br />The projects include: 1st Avenue (Washington to Van Buren), 13th Avenue (Bertelsen to Commerce), <br />13th Avenue (Washington to Garfield), 43rd Avenue (North Shasta to Dillard), 46th Avenue (Donald to <br />Willamette), Broadway (Mill to Pearl), Coburg Road (Ferry Street Bridge to 50 feet south of EWEB off- <br />ramp), Donald Street (46th to Fox Hollow). Firland (Spring to Agate), Goodpasture Loop Road, Interior <br />Street (north end of cul-de-sac to south end of improved section), Madison Street (1st to 8th), Marshall <br />(Hughes to Echo Hollow), Monroe Street (1st to Blair), Olive Street (11th to 13th), Roosevelt <br />Boulevard (Danebo to Terry), and Shasta Loop (Spring Boulevard to 43rd), as well as 20 residential <br />street segments that will receive slurry seal treatments. <br /> Crews from Eugene Water & Electric Board, Northwest Natural and other utilities have been <br />working for months to adjust their utilities before the City begins its road work. One stretch that’s <br />recently been under construction by EWEB is 13 Avenue from Garfield to Washington streets. That <br />th <br />road repair project is scheduled to begin in mid-April and will include reconstructing much of the <br />existing roadway. <br />(more) <br /> <br />Public Works Administration ● City of Eugene ● 101 E.
