QuickTake:

The United States Postal Service says the damage caused when a car hit the front windows of the building more than six month ago will be fixed within the next month.

The front doors of the Gateway Street post office in Springfield remain inaccessible after the front windows of the building were damaged earlier this year.

According to a KVAL 13 report, a car crashed through the front windows of the building on May 28.

The lobby is open for business and customers can access post office boxes. However, customers are directed to use a side door of the building at 3148 Gateway St. 

More than six months after the crash, some of the front windows remain boarded up with plywood. Yellow caution tape has been wrapped around the entrance to the building. 

Asked about repairs to the building, Janella Herron, a spokesperson for the United States Postal Service based in Washington state, told Lookout Eugene-Springfield on Dec. 12, “We anticipate project completion to be between end of December to early January.”

Herron said the timeline for repairs is based on several factors, including the availability of materials and contractor scheduling.
