Downtown Eugene & Campus
10+ cameras monitoring city streets, Franklin Boulevard near UO, and major intersections.
Eugene, known as "Track Town USA" and home to the University of Oregon Ducks, sits in the heart of Oregon's Willamette Valley. The Eugene-Springfield twin cities form a metro area of 382,000 residents where I-5 serves as the main north-south artery connecting Portland (110 miles north) to California. Users can also monitor live street feeds along Franklin Boulevard and 11th Avenue to check for road-level gridlock near the UO campus or downtown events. OR-126 provides the critical east-west link from Eugene through Springfield to the McKenzie River valley and Cascade Mountains, while also connecting west to the Oregon Coast. The Beltline Highway (OR-569) creates a northern bypass that reduces congestion through downtown Eugene.
Traffic volumes peak during University of Oregon events—Autzen Stadium holds 54,000 for Ducks football games, and Hayward Field hosts major track and field meets. The region's 50+ inches of annual rainfall and frequent Willamette Valley fog create challenging driving conditions, especially on I-5 where visibility can drop dramatically during morning commutes.

Check Live Cameras →I-5: Willamette Valley Corridor
Interstate 5 runs north-south through Eugene-Springfield as the primary route connecting the Willamette Valley to California and Washington. The corridor handles heavy commuter traffic between the twin cities, UO student travel, and regional freight to the Port of Portland.
I-5 Through Eugene-Springfield
Beltline Interchange (Exit 195B): Northern junction with OR-569, major bottleneck during rush hour and UO events
Springfield Junction (Exit 194A/B): I-105 split to downtown Eugene and OR-126 east, busiest interchange in metro area
Eugene Downtown Exits (192-194): OR-99 connections, UO campus access via Franklin Boulevard
Goshen Area (Exit 176): Southern suburbs, fog-prone section during fall and winter mornings
Cottage Grove Connection (Exit 174): Gateway to southern Oregon wine country and I-5 corridor to California
Peak congestion occurs northbound from 7-9 AM and southbound from 4-6 PM, particularly between the Beltline and Springfield interchanges. Football Saturdays and Duck basketball games add significant traffic on Franklin Boulevard approaching Autzen Stadium.
Beltline Highway (OR-569)
The Beltline Highway forms Eugene's northern bypass, running approximately 11 miles from OR-99 on the west side to I-5 on the east. This four-lane expressway provides an alternative to navigating downtown Eugene and handles commuter traffic between west Eugene suburbs and Springfield.
Beltline Highway (OR-569)
West Section (OR-99 to River Road): Access to west Eugene neighborhoods, Eugene Airport connector
Central Section (River Road to Coburg Road): Crosses Willamette River, serves north Eugene commercial areas
East Section (Coburg Road to I-5): Heavy commuter route, Gateway Mall area, I-5 interchange bottleneck
Rush Hour Patterns: Eastbound congestion 7-9 AM toward Springfield, westbound 4-6 PM toward west Eugene
The Beltline-I-5 interchange (Exit 195B) is the region's main bottleneck, with merging traffic from northbound I-5, southbound I-5, and Beltline creating slowdowns during peak hours. Construction projects frequently impact this section.
I-105 & OR-126: Downtown and East-West Connections
I-105 is a 2-mile connector spur linking I-5 to downtown Eugene and OR-126. This short but critical route funnels traffic from the interstate to Eugene's city center and provides the primary access to the east-west OR-126 corridor.
I-105 & OR-126 Connections
I-105 Downtown Connector: Exits for 6th/7th Avenue (city center), Coburg Road (north Eugene)
OR-126 West (Eugene-Florence Highway): Route to Oregon Coast via Veneta and Mapleton, Siuslaw National Forest
OR-126 East (McKenzie Highway): Springfield to McKenzie River, Clear Lake, Santiam Pass, Sisters, and Bend
Springfield Core: Main Street exits, Gateway area shopping, connections to OR-99E south
OR-126 eastbound traffic increases on Friday afternoons and weekends as Eugene residents head to Cascade Mountain recreation areas. Westbound OR-126 carries coast-bound traffic, though many coastal travelers prefer US-20 from Corvallis.

Eugene-Springfield Peak Times
Morning rush: 7-9 AM—I-5 northbound, Beltline eastbound, Franklin Boulevard to UO. Average one-way commute for Eugene residents is approximately 20.3 minutes, though peak-hour congestion on the Beltline and OR-126 can extend travel times to 45 minutes.
Evening rush: 4-6 PM—I-5 southbound, Beltline westbound, OR-126 outbound to Springfield
Main bottleneck: Beltline-I-5 interchange (Exit 195B) experiences delays both directions during peak hours
UO impact: Class change times (especially 10 AM, noon, 2 PM) affect Franklin Boulevard and 13th Avenue traffic
Traffic is generally moderate compared to Portland, but the Beltline-I-5 interchange and Springfield I-105 junction create predictable slowdowns. Allow extra time during UO move-in week (late September), graduation (June), and major sporting events.
University of Oregon Events
The University of Oregon generates significant traffic impacts during sporting events and academic calendar milestones:
Autzen Stadium (54,000 capacity): Ducks football games create heavy traffic on Franklin Boulevard, Centennial Boulevard, and I-105. Tailgating starts 4-5 hours before kickoff, with post-game congestion lasting 1-2 hours.
Matthew Knight Arena (12,364 capacity): Basketball games affect Centennial Boulevard and 13th Avenue, though smaller crowds than football.
Hayward Field track events: NCAA championships and Olympic trials draw large crowds to the renovated stadium, impacting campus-area traffic.
Academic calendar: Move-in week (late September), parents weekend (October), and graduation (June) create temporary surges in campus traffic and downtown hotel area congestion.
Franklin Boulevard (OR-99) is the primary UO access route from I-105 and experiences significant slowdowns during events. Campus parking fills early on game days, pushing visitor parking to downtown lots and PeaceHealth Medical Center park-and-ride shuttles.
Weather Challenges
Willamette Valley Weather Hazards
Dense fog: Fall and winter mornings bring thick valley fog to I-5, reducing visibility to under 1/4 mile. Check cameras before departing—fog often clears by 10 AM but creates dangerous conditions during morning commute.
Traffic fatalities: Eugene recorded a record 22 traffic fatalities in 2024—part of a three-year high of 50 deaths—emphasizing the critical need for real-time monitoring of high-speed arterials.
Heavy rain (50+ inches/year): October through May brings frequent rainstorms.
I-5 and Beltline Highway experience hydroplaning risk during downpours. Reduce speed and increase following distance.
Ice on bridges: Rare freezing events (1-3 times/winter) create black ice on Willamette River bridges, Beltline overpasses, and I-5 interchanges. Temperatures drop faster on elevated structures.
Snow (rare but disruptive): Eugene averages 2-3 inches of snow per year, but even light accumulation closes schools and creates traffic chaos. City has limited snow removal equipment compared to Cascade foothill communities.
Mountain pass closures: OR-126 east to McKenzie Pass and OR-58 to Willamette Pass close during winter storms. Check TripCheck before heading to Cascades recreation areas.
ODOT cameras provide real-time visibility checks for fog conditions on I-5. The Beltline-I-5 interchange and elevated sections of I-105 are particularly fog-prone during November through February mornings.
Regional Connections
Eugene's location in the southern Willamette Valley makes it a hub for routes to the Oregon Coast, Cascade Mountains, and connections north to Portland or south to California:
Portland (110 miles north via I-5): 2-hour drive to Oregon's largest city, frequent delays near Salem and through Tualatin during weekday rush hours.
Oregon Coast (60 miles west via OR-126): Route to Florence and Heceta Head Lighthouse takes 75-90 minutes. Alternative coastal routes include OR-36 to Mapleton or US-20 from Corvallis.
Bend (130 miles east): OR-126 to US-20 via Santiam Pass (winter closures common), or OR-58 to US-97 via Willamette Pass. 2.5-3 hours depending on route and conditions.
Crater Lake (130 miles southeast): OR-58 to US-97 south, then OR-138 east to Rim Village. Summer-only access (park road closed October-June).
California border (180 miles south): I-5 through Roseburg and Grants Pass to Siskiyou Summit and Redding. Chain requirements possible in winter at higher elevations.
Check ODOT TripCheck cameras along I-5, OR-126, and OR-58 for current conditions before road trips to coast or mountains.
