One lane of southbound Interstate 5 just south of the Eugene-Springfield Metro Area will need to be closed Sunday night so that an ODOT maintenance crew can repair a deep pothole. The pothole is located at milepost 200.6.
The lane will be closed starting at 5 p.m. on Sunday, March 29 and will re-open at 4 a.m. on Monday, March 30.
To repair the pothole, the crew must first remove two feet of old asphalt and much of the road base.
Travelers should expect delays, drive slowly and use extreme caution while in the construction zone.
