In this process the existing road structure is mixed in place with cement to <br />create a stable road base, and an asphalt pavement surface is applied as the top driving <br />surface. <br />The roadway will not be widened, and the project does not include improvements <br />such as sidewalks, curbs and gutters, street lights, or traffic calming. Care will be taken to <br />protect the trees along the road. <br />During construction, the road will be closed to through traffic in two phases: Paige <br />Street to Friendly Street; and Friendly Street to Washington Street. Local access will be <br />allowed with delays. The project is expected to be substantially completed by late June. <br />Funding for the $400,000 project is coming from the City of Eugene’s road fund. <br />For updates on this and other local road repair projects go to <br />www.keepusmoving.info. <br /># # # <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works Administration ● City of Eugene ● 101 E.
