News Release Paving Projects to Start <br /> September 6, 1996 <br /> Page 2 <br /> On Coburg Road, one lane of traffic in each direction and a turn lane will be kept open <br /> <br /> i <br /> during construction; however, detours will be in effect at times for motorists using Chad Drive <br /> <br /> ' and Crescent Avenue while those intersections are blocked with construction activity. The work <br /> is expected to be completed by early October. <br /> The third project, resurfacing West 11th Avenue from Tyinn Street to Beltline Road, is <br /> scheduled to start September 19, weather permitting. The contractor on that project, Eugene <br /> Sand & Gravel, anticipates that the main paving activity will take approximately seven days to <br /> complete. Most of the work will be done at night, and police and flaggers will direct traffic at <br /> major intersections. <br /> City road repair funds will be used to pay for the three projects, which total <br /> ' approximately $994,000. The City selects streets for rehabilitation projects based on pavement <br /> condition, optimum timing for cost-effective rehabilitation, and traffic volume. Average daily <br /> traffic counts for the streets being rehabilitated this fall are approximately 7,800 vehicles on <br /> Amazon Parkway, 19,560 vehicles on Coburg Road, and 24,200 vehicles on West 11th Avenue. <br /> For current information on these and other City construction projects, call the traffic relief <br /> hotline at 984-8484. <br /> <br />
