The first phase, from Chambers <br />Street to Street, was completed last fall. The second phase, from Maple Street to Beltline Highway, <br />is scheduled to take place this spring, as weather allows. <br />The paving repairs include removing the top layer of deteriorated pavement, doing extensive <br />subsurface repairs as needed, and then resurfacing the roadway with a new layer of asphaltic <br />concrete. These repairs will add many years of life to Roosevelt Boulevard, which is a fully improved <br />city street. Funding for the project comes from a combination of local gas tax revenue and federal <br />funds. <br />In general, working hours for the project are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. <br />Motorists are advised to use alternate routes to avoid construction-related delays. <br /> For more information on these and other area road projects, visit the City of Eugene’s traffic <br />web site at www.eugene-or.gov/traffic or call the metro roadwork hotline at 984-8484. <br /># # # <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 />
