Normally one lane of traffic will be maintained <br /> in each direction, although traffic may be limited to one lane at times. Additional repairs are <br /> being made on East 29`h Avenue near Ferry Street. <br /> The sewer repairs are being done by Gelco Services Inc., of Salem, under contract to the <br /> Eugene Public Works Department in the area bounded by Jefferson Street, 26`'' Avenue, Ferry <br /> Street, and 31 S` Avenue. The rehabilitation work typically is done by inserting liners into <br /> existing mainline pipes to avoid digging up the full street. However, the job requires placing <br /> equipment in the travel lanes and doing some excavation. <br /> For up-to-date information about local construction projects, call the City of Eugene <br /> traffic relief hotline at 984-8484, or on the Internet at www.ci.eugene.or.us/pw/traffic, <br /> # # # <br /> <br /> II Public Works • Administration • City of Eugene • 858 Pearl Street • Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> <br /> i Phone: (541) 682-5262 • FAX: (541) 682-6826 • www.ci.eugene.or.us <br /> <br />
