Two lanes in each direction will be open during the day. <br />The job includes relocating about 100 feet of new, 18-inch wastewater pipe in a 12-foot- <br />deep trench to move it out of the way of a planned pedestrian crossing and a monopole <br />mast for pedestrian-operated signals related to the crossing. A new wastewater manhole <br />will be constructed, and a new catch basin will also be constructed to improve stormwater <br />drainage in the area. <br />The estimated $100,000 cost of the work will be paid for using system development <br />charges, which are collected when properties are developed to help pay for improvements <br />to support growth in the community. The crosswalk is being constructed by the developers <br />of the Hub on Campus student housing project at 515 East Broadway. <br />For updates on this and other road projects in the Eugene area, go to <br />keepusmoving.info or follow EugenePW on Twitter. <br /># # # <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works Administration ● City of Eugene ● 101 E.
