The repair work will require <br />closing the northbound lane for about three days. <br />The lane closure and repair work is scheduled to begin Thursday morning. <br />Northbound traffic will be detoured at 15 Avenue although drivers are encouraged to use <br />th <br />18 Avenue to Chambers Street or Lincoln Street to avoid driving on neighborhood streets. <br />th <br />Motorists are reminded that 15 Avenue is a designated bike route. <br />th <br />Southbound traffic should not be affected by the work. However, the right lane on <br />13 Avenue east of Jefferson Street will be closed on Thursday and Friday as well. Fast- <br />th <br />curing concrete will be used to expedite the repair work, and the City hopes to have <br />Jefferson fully reopened on Saturday. <br />Watch for a message board on Jefferson for updates on the progress of the work. <br /> <br /># # # <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works Administration ● City of Eugene ● 101 E.
