"The new building will bring some of LTD’s maintenance staff and equipment to the district headquarters." The new Lane Transit District (LTD) maintenance building is taking shape in Glenwood. The new maintenance office and larger bus lot will help to accommodate LTD’s first all-electric buses.
Currently maintenance staff for LTD’s downtown Eugene, University of Oregon, Springfield, Gateway and other stations are spread across the 10 LTD stations. The new building will bring some of LTD’s maintenance staff and equipment to the district headquarters. The bus lot re-striping is already adding to the efficiency of LTD’s operations as well. We are happy to be part of this excellent project with Lane Transit District and PIVOT Architecture.

"This is an exciting time for neighborhood families." One month from today the new River Road/El Camino del Río Elementary School - Eugene 4J will be full of kiddos ready to start the new school year. This is an exciting time for neighborhood families and a Chambers Construction project that we are very proud of.
River Road/El Camino del Río Elementary School is a neighborhood elementary school with a dual language immersion program, and one of four schools that has been replaced with 2013 bond funds. The new building is the fourth in the school’s history. The original River Road school was built in 1914, burned down in 1926 and was replaced with a new building, all at its original site at 1000 River Road. River Road School District merged into the Eugene School District in 1945. The third school building opened in 1953 near the previous building.
