Weekly Construction Update Week of October 14th

Spotlight on Sheila Hart

This week we are spotlighting the “always smiling” Sheila Hart. You might recognize Sheila as one of the 15^th Street traffic control flaggers. The project team has received dozens of comments from community members acknowledging Sheila’s friendliness and ever-present smile. 

Sheila shared, “I love working for K&E Excavation and so happy we get to do all of these super great projects for the City of Bend. The people here are so nice and friendly!”

• Stage II work on the 15^th Street and Murphy Road roundabout continues this week with construction of the curb and sidewalks and installation of remaining storm drainage facilities.
• Roundabout asphalt paving will take place toward the end of the week.
