It will also relocate a segment the path adjacent to <br />RiverPlay where the river has eroded and undercut the bank. <br />Work will begin at the east end of the project near the Campbell Center and will be <br />done in phases. The entire project is scheduled to be substantially completed by October <br />28. <br />Segments of the path will be closed during construction. The suggested alternate <br />route for path users is Cheshire Ave. <br />Total estimated cost of the project is $350,000. The primary source of funding is the <br />2008 voter-approved measure to fix street and bike paths. Kipco, Inc., of Eugene is the <br />general contractor on the project. <br /> For updates on this and other road and bike path projects in Eugene, go to <br />www.keepusmoving.info or follow EugenePW on Twitter. <br /> <br /># # # <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works Administration ● City of Eugene ● 101 E.
