The street is scheduled to reopen on <br />Monday, March 31. <br />The closure will allow crews from Eugene Public Works Maintenance to replace the <br />existing damaged concrete panels in that section with new concrete panels. The extended <br />closure is necessary to allow enough time for the new concrete to cure sufficiently to <br />handle traffic loads. <br />While the street is closed for concrete repairs, eastbound traffic on 19 Avenue will <br />th <br />be directed to use alternate routes, such as High Street to 18 Avenue or Amazon Parkway <br />th <br />to 24 Avenue. Sidewalks will remain open for pedestrian use. <br />th <br />The work dates were chosen to coincide with spring break at South Eugene High <br />School. Access to the school will be maintained although the driveway across from Mill <br />Street will be closed. <br />For up-to-date reports on this and other local street repair projects, go to <br />www.eugene-or.gov/traffic or follow EugenePW on Twitter. <br /> <br /># # # <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works Administration ● City of Eugene ● 101 E.
