City of Eugene Transportation

ALT THANK YOU for your patience during the closure of Pearl Street last week between Broadway and 10th. The closure was originally planned to last 20 days, but we were able to only close for 8 days instead, a huge accomplishment! Moving forward, Pearl Street will always keep at least one lane of travel open. Bike riders should use the new High Street Bikeway to go south until the Pearl Street project is finished later this summer.

ALT There are no anticipated closures on Oak Street until paving begins. All paving is planned to take place at night on both Pearl and Oak in late June and early July. This will help prevent disruption for residents and businesses downtown. Oak Street will keep at least one lane of travel open during construction. When these projects are done, there will be a smooth road surface, more accessible sidewalk curb ramps, a bike lane on the west side of Pearl Street and shorter pedestrian crossings at several intersections along Oak and Pearl. Thank you, voters, for approving the Street Repair Bond Measure that is funding this work.

ALT Several closures are upcoming on 8th Ave next week for repaving. Monday (5/13) 8th will be closed between Olive and Charnelton. On Tuesday (5/14) 8th will be closed between Charnelton and Lincoln. Once paving is complete, we will be entering the final phase of the 8th Ave Streetscape Project! That’s striping, converting the street to two-way travel and finishing the protected bike lanes. By the end of summer 2024, downtown 8th Avenue will be a continuous, 2-way, urban street with complete bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.
