The old roadway is closed to motor vehicles in that area, so most traffic <br /> j will not be affected by the closure. Walking and running trails will remain open, and walkers and <br /> joggers should be alert to increased traffic. <br /> In the map below, the yellow shaded area indicates the closed roadway. <br /> CEtltlT~NNIAL <br /> L() AdA€i1~H LU7lE~ lCit~~ ,~1. .1+Y1. <br /> ~ ~ ~~ti <br /> ii Lt <br /> L <br /> <br /> I I r~~: <br /> BrCsr <br /> ~ri~r <br /> a, <br /> ~ I"~.~:~,m. ~A~ <br /> i <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 />
