The City of Eugene has notified agencies that some city streets should be avoided, due to weather-related issues:

• Chambers Street from 24th Avenue to the top of the hill
• 28th Avenue – Almaden to Chambers
• Ferry Street Bridge
• Willamette from 32nd to 35th is shut down
• Off-ramp from 6th Ave to I-105 is shut down

28th Avenue is currently closed to traffic from Chambers Street to Almaden Street, as several vehicles are stuck in the snow. There were several crashes blocking traffic. City crews are working on a plow truck.  One accident involved a commercial truck that crashed into a car and tree. These have been slow-speed crashes, in which vehicles have slipped or slid into collisions with other vehicles or objects.

Northbound Ferry Street Bridge is closed from its on-ramp at Mill Street and W. 7th Avenue to Coburg Road. A sander is en route. Some vehicles have been unable to go up the ramp, causing traffic to back up onto 7th Avenue.

Power Outage Q&A

What happened today?
A power failure occurred in the southwest section of the University of Oregon campus.  A series of malfunctions were reported from the underground tunnels that deliver utility services through the 295-acre campus. As a result, intermittent power outages occurred and some buildings continue to be without power.

No one was injured in the incident that resulted in visible smoke above ground and inside the University Health Center. The University Health Center was evacuated and a two-block section of Agate Street, from 13th to 15th Avenues, was closed for approximately two hours.

What is the university doing to fix the problem?
Campus Operations is working as quickly as possible to restore electricity to all affected buildings and many are back up and running at this time.  However, several buildings are still without power, including many UO Housing residence and dining halls, including Carson Hall, Hamilton Hall, Bean Hall, Living Learning Center, Earl Hall and Walton Hall. University Housing is working with campus officials to restore power as quickly as possible.
