Upgrades to Eugene's downtown electric network continue

You may have noticed construction this week on the corner of 7th and Pearl Street. That’s because crews replaced a corroded, aging vault with an innovative, new Voltek vault.

We’re able to install the new vault while the cables are still energized, minimizing disruption to customers and traffic while cutting construction time in half.
