Eugene <br /> Sand & Gravel is the general contractor for the $380,000 project designed and managed by the <br /> Eugene Public Works Department.. <br /> During daytime construction hours, lanes may be closed in the work zones. On West <br /> Amazon Drive, at least one lane will remain open at all times for southbound traffic. <br /> Northbound traffic can use East Amazon Drive as an alternate route. On Norkenzie and Jeppesen <br /> Acres, plans call for one lane of traffic to be open in each direction although at times there may <br /> be delays and traffic controlled by flaggers. Portions of sidewalks and bike lanes will be closed <br /> at times. Signs will direct pedestrians and cyclists to alternate routes. . <br /> I <br /> (more) <br /> Public Works • Administration • City of Eugene • 858 Pearl Street • Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> Phone: (541) 682-5262 • FAX: (541) 682-6826 • www.ci.eugene.or.us <br /> I <br /> <br />
