Motorists are advised to use alternate routes or to allow <br /> adequate time for delays in the construction area. <br /> Once the lane changes have been made, Wildish Construction will wait for appropriate <br /> ~ climate conditions to apply concrete to the center lanes. Temperature, precipitation and wind <br /> I <br /> speed must be taken into account for the week it takes for the concrete to cure properly. <br /> I <br /> The Willow Creek bridge area is likely to remain under construction until at least early <br /> February. The bridge work is the final stage in a $3 million project to widen West 11th from <br /> Beltline to Willow Creek Road and realign and reconstruct Willow Creek Road from 1 lth <br /> I <br /> Avenue to 18th Avenue. <br /> For up-to-date information about area road projects, call the City of Eugene's traffic relief <br /> hotline at 984-8484. <br /> <br /> Public Works • Administration • City of Eugene • 858 Pearl • Eugene, OR 97401-2727 • Phone: (541) 682-5262 • FAX (541) 682-6826 <br /> <br />
