CONSTRUCTION UPDATE - BROSTERHOUS ROAD

The City of Bend will begin additional construction on a sidewalk and sewer extension project under the railroad bridge on Brosterhous Rd. between Murphy Rd. and Knott Rd. This project is estimated to begin in Mid-October with estimated completion in late spring of 2022.

The project includes installation of a shared use path sidewalk for pedestrians and bikes under the railroad bridge that will connect to existing sidewalks to the north and south. Also included in the work is an extension of the sewer line within Brosterhous Rd.

Road and lane closures will be required during construction: 

• A one-week full road closure of Brosterhous Rd. to vehicle traffic at the railroad crossing between Murphy Rd. and Knott Rd. will be required. Use signed detour.
• The northbound lane of Brosterhous Rd. will remain closed to vehicle traffic through the end of 
  December.
• Access to pedestrians and bikes will remain open during both the full road and lane closures
• During construction, heavy equipment will be operating close to residences. Please stay safe and keep children and pets away from the construction area. 
• Detour includes Murphy Rd., Country Club Dr. and Knott Rd.
