The Oregon State Police will be enhancing patrol efforts on Interstate 5 between Eugene and Portland on Saturday.

Extra patrols will take place on state highways and public roadways intersecting Corvallis and Eugene. Oregon State University and the University of Oregon both have home games Saturday, which will draw a significant number of motorists to the area. An OSP release said with increased traffic volumes comes an increased risk of traffic collisions.

OSP will be seeking the public’s assistance in ensuring safe highways for those who are traveling to and from these events, as well as people traveling through the area for other reasons.
