There will be detours for vehicles at Agate Street, East 17th Avenue, Columbia Street, Moss Street, and East 19th Avenue. Pedestrian routes will also be detoured, and bike lanes on Agate Street (west side) and Moss Street (east side) will be closed and combined with traffic lanes. Large trucks and construction equipment will be in the area.
- Construction at South Eugene High School is happening this week to repair an old wastewater pipe. Some sidewalks, parking spots, and lawn areas on campus may be closed. Eastbound traffic on E 19th Avenue near Mill Street might be closed, with a detour to E 18th Avenue.
