Project-Details

You can expect:

• Crews working during the day, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

• 24/7 single lane closures on Mill Street from South A Street to Centennial Boulevard.
  

• Mill Street to be restricted to one-way traffic between Main Street and Centennial Boulevard. 
  

• Northbound traffic is shifted to the westsi​de of the street.

• Southbound traffic can go around the work zone on adjacent streets.
  

• 'E' Street is open for use to cross Mill Street.
  

• Pedestrian crossing to be limited, follow signed detours. 

• Parking to not be allowed on Mill Street.
  

Starting Saturday, 3/22, the Mill Street and Main Street traffic signals will have no power while our utility partner moves the power lines to the newly installed poles. We expect the power to be restored the same day but it may be down through the weekend if necessary.

​Pedestrians, including those with disabilities, will have access through or around work zones. ​

Pay attention in the work zone, slow down and move over – imagine this is where you work! 

Always drive safely, watch for construction signs and workers. 

Remember: fines double in all Oregon work zones, whether workers and signs are present or not. ​

Mill Street serves as a collector for residences and some commercial use, and provides access to Centennial Boulevard and Main Street, two key Springfield arterial streets. Over time, the street has reached a state of deterioration beyond the feasibility of maintenance treatments.

In addition to crumbling pavement, Mill Street currently presents challenges to pedestrians and bicyclists. Cyclists currently ride in the roadway and weave in and out of parked cars along the street. Between 2008-2015, nine bicyclist-involved crashes were reported along the project length. All except for one were angle, sideswipe, or turning movements, which are the types of crashes that could be expected to occur without good visibility of people biking and without infrastructure that encourages more predictable riding behavior, such as a bike lane.

Mill Street is also heavily accessed by pedestrians walking to Centennial Boulevard or Pioneer Parkway to use the bus. Reconstructing Mill Street provides an opportunity to enhance the safety and accessibility of curb ramps and pedestrian crossings to allow for continued, safe access of commonly used pedestrian routes to get to and from the nearby bus lines.

In partnership with the city of Springfield, we're doing a full reconstruction of Mill Street. This project includes:
