FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Repairs to Fern Ridge Path from Chambers to City View Scheduled August 1-2
Eugene Public Works Maintenance crews are scheduled to do asphalt repairs on portions of the Fern Ridge Path between Chambers and City View streets beginning Monday, August 1, weather permitting.
The work is expected to take approximately two days to complete and will be done in two sections: Chambers to Garfield streets, and then Garfield to City View streets. Each section will be closed while repair work is occurring on that section. While the path is closed, bicyclists will be directed to use alternate routes, such as 18th Avenue.
The maintenance repairs will address immediate hazards related to the deterioration of the path’s paving. A more complete reconstruction and improvement project on that section of the Fern Ridge Path is tentatively scheduled next year.
