News Release <br /> July 3, 2007 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Also as part of the East 18th project, Agate Street will be repaved from 13th to 22nd <br /> avenues. That work includes reconstructing the intersection of 19th Avenue and Agate Street, which <br /> means that intersection will be closed to through traffic for at least one week, tentatively beginning <br /> July 24. The work on East 18th and Agate Streets is scheduled to be substantially completed by <br /> mid-September. <br /> The two projects on 18th Avenue are among 10 asphalt overlays being done around the city <br /> this summer as part of Eugene's pavement preservation program. The total cost of this summer's <br /> pavement repair projects is estimated at more than $5 million, funded primarily by Eugene's local <br /> motor vehicle fuel tax, a portion of the fees paid by new development in Eugene, and cone-time <br /> infusion of $1.5 million from the City's general fund. <br /> For current information about road work in Eugene, including updates about the intersection <br /> <br /> closures at West 18th and Bailey Hill and at East 19th and Agate Street, call the metro roadwork <br /> <br /> hotline at 984-8484, or visit the City of Eugene's web site at www.eugene-or.gov/pw. <br /> Eugene Public Works • www.eugene-or.gov/pw <br /> 858 Pearl Street, Eugene, Oregon 97501 • 541-682-5523 • fax 541-682-6826 • e-mail pwadmin@ci.eugene.or.us <br /> <br />
