Traffic will be limited to a single lane controlled by flaggers. Use of alternate routes is <br />recommended. <br />In addition to fixing the deteriorated surface on the expressway, the crews will be testing a <br />new asphalt milling machine called the Asphalt Zipper. The machine is designed to grind and <br />pulverize the existing road surface to quickly prepare it for surface paving. <br />For up-to-date information about road work in the Eugene area, go to www.eugene- <br />or.gov/traffic or follow EugenePW on Twitter. <br /># # # <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works Administration ● City of Eugene ● 101 E.
