ACTUALIZACIÓN SOBRE LAS OBRAS
Construction Activities – Through Octubre
Awbrey Road, Vicksburg Avenue, and Utica Avenue were paved and striped earlier this month. The remaining work for the first subproject consists of minor landscaping adjustments and general cleanup of the area. No additional significant traffic impacts are anticipated for the Subproject 1 work area.

PROJECT UPDATE – OCTOBER 2023
Fase 1
Construction of Phase 1 improvements began in early junio and is expected to be completed in Marzo 2024. This phase includes three subprojects that are being constructed in stages to minimize traffic impacts. Work along Quincy Avenue (Subproject 3) and Palisades Drive (Subproject 6) have tentatively been removed from the construction schedule to re-evaluate priorities.
Subproject 1 (Awbrey Road Waterline) work will be completed on schedule later this month. Those improvements include 2,410 feet of new upsized 8-inch pipe along portions of NW Awbrey Road, NW Vicksburg Avenue, NW Utica Avenue, and NW Second Street.

UPCOMING IMPROVEMENTS – Subprojects 4 & 5
Beginning the week of Octubre 30, and lasting for up to four weeks, there will be a change to the traffic pattern at the intersection of NW Ogden Avenue & NW 10th Street. Eastbound and westbound traffic will be stop-controlled to let northbound and southbound traffic flow uninterrupted from NW Portland Avenue to NW Newport Avenue.
Segments of “No Parking” along NW 10th Street between NW Portland Avenue and NW Newport Avenue will be in place for safety precautions. No parking signs will be posted in advance. This temporary restriction is necessary as part of the Awbrey Butte Waterline Improvement Project.
Key Information:
- Traffic Change: Eastbound and westbound traffic will be stop-controlled at the intersection of NW Ogden Ave & NW 10th Street to let northbound and southbound traffic flow uninterrupted from NW Portland Avenue to NW Newport Avenue.
- No Parking Areas: Please be aware of the designated “No Parking” zones along NW 10th Street. These areas will be clearly marked with appropriate signage.
- Driveways: Access to driveways will be maintained, so residents and businesses can continue to use their driveways without disruption.
- Towing Policy: Vehicles parked in the street segments noted as “No Parking” may be subject to towing at the owner’s expense.
- Service Continuity: Essential services such as Emergency Medical Services (EMS), garbage collection, mail delivery, and other municipal services will be maintained as usual throughout this period.
SUBPROJECT 4: Awbrey Reservoir Outlet Transmission Upsize.
noviembre 2023-Diciembre 2023
Improvements include 320 feet of new upsized 24-inch pipe from Awbrey Reservoir outlet to connect to 24-inch in Ninth Street.
SUBPROJECT 5: Awbrey Butte Pipe Distribution Improvements.
Octubre 30, 2023-Enero 2024*
Improvements include replacing 2,260 feet of existing 24-inch pipe along Ninth Street between NW Newport Avenue and Awbrey Reservoir. Periodic restoration work planned through Marzo 2024.
Nos comprometemos a reducir al mínimo las molestias que las obras puedan causar a los vecinos y a los miembros de la comunidad. Nuestro plan de gestión de las obras incluye medidas para minimizar las molestias derivadas del tráfico, el ruido, el polvo y otros aspectos relacionados con las obras.
Las obras se llevarán a cabo, por lo general, de lunes a viernes, de 7:00 a 17:00 horas, aunque se ampliarán los horarios y se trabajará los fines de semana (solo cuando sea necesario y de forma muy limitada). Cualquier trabajo que implique cruzar las entradas de las viviendas se coordinará con los residentes un día antes de comenzar las obras y, de nuevo, el mismo día de las obras, antes de que se vean afectados. Los servicios de urgencias médicas, el correo, la recogida de basuras y los servicios de reparto seguirán teniendo acceso.
Si está previsto un corte en el suministro de agua que afecte a su propiedad, se le notificará con antelación. En caso de que se produzcan retrasos en el calendario previsto, un representante del proyecto estará presente en el lugar e intentará notificárselo.
The construction is taking place within the Public Right-Of-Way. Please visit the project website to learn more about public Right-Of-Way.
FASE 2
Phase 2 waterline and sewer main construction work is expected to begin this winter in Shevlin Park Road and within the Public Right of Way. This work includes trenched construction with rock excavation, pipe, fittings, valves, water meters, and surface restoration. View Phase 2 improvements below.

Portland Avenue Project
NW Portland Avenue serves as a key east-west route for people walking, biking, and driving across the west side of Bend (from the Central Oregon Community College area to across the Deschutes River.)
