Officials with Wildish Construction Co. of Eugene believe that their crews will finish the $5.3 million project in autumn of 2008. County officials previously announced that the job - one of the largest road construction projects in the Springfield area in at least 30 years - might not be completed until late 2009.

Large trucks needing to reach Highway 58 to transport goods will use the new road instead of winding through south Springfield neighborhoods en route to the highway, Brown said. "Our goal is to get commercial trucking off those (local) roads," Brown said. He added that plans to link Highway 126 and Jasper Road have been around since the 1960s. Lane County is using $5 million from its road fund to pay for parkway construction. The city of Springfield is providing about $300,000, county officials said. Jurisdiction of the new three-lane road will be transferred from Lane County to the city when Springfield annexes properties in the now-unincorporated Jasper-Natron area.
