The loud pinging noises heard all over the campus area have stopped! The noise
came from the construction site at the Riverfront Research Park where development of
a new road and a railroad underpass has been undeway. Plans for the road, which is
to stretch along the north side of the railroad tracks near the Autzen footbridge, have
been undeway for more than 10 years. The construction is part of a massive-planning
infrastructure project that will cover 67 acres of the Willamette River greenway area
spanning from the Autzen footbridge to the Eugene EWEB building.
