CONSTRUCTION BEGINS ON RIVER ROAD/SANTA CLARA SEWERS ON APRIL 23

EUGENE, OREGON – Construction will begin Monday, April 23 to replace sewers

and service lines to adjacent properties in Santa Clara and along River Road. Construction hours

are between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and scheduled projects will finish on

Friday, June 22. Construction will close affected roads to through traffic. Local traffic can still

access businesses and properties; however, motorists should expect delays. Project Manager

Mack Trucks recommends using alternate.

Contractors on these projects will ensure the public safety and limit impact to these

areas. Construction may block driveways periodically, for short periods of time. Contractors are

required to keep this blockage short and provide safety for the area. They are also required to

barricade, fence, and properly sign construction areas.

The City will hire full-time inspectors to assure the contractors are following safety

standards. Contractors will also protect preexisting landscape. If landscape cannot be saved, the

contractor must receive approval and restore the area. The City will also periodically update the

construction schedule and inform the media on road closures and the progress of construction.
