Murphy Rd. Corridor Project

Mayor Jim Clinton and other officials help break ground on the Murphy Road Corridor Project.  The purpose of the project is to improve safety and connectivity by constructing an east – west arterial in the south end of Bend and eliminate the traffic signals at the intersections of U.S. Highway 97 at Pinebrook Boulevard and U.S. 97 at 3rd Street. The effort is a partnership between ODOT and the City.

The first phase of the project is estimated to cost $25.1 million and is mostly funded by the Jobs and Transportation Act. Construction is set to begin this summer. The overall cost estimate of transportation improvements needed in the U.S. 97/Murphy Road area is $45 million. Future projects in the area will be built using a variety of federal, state, local and private funding.
