This statewide traffic volume report is updated monthly. The latest report was published on 7/9/2021. The traffic volume data in June 2021 showed weekdays in the Bend/Redmond section of US-97 saw weekday traffic volumes nearly at 2019 levels with volumes ranging from 3-5% below volumes seen in 2019. The last week of data from June 28-July 4th show a 1% increase from 2019 volumes. The section of US-97 outside of the Bend/Redmond area saw weekday volumes 5-8% greater than 2019 levels. The most recent week (6/28-7/4/21) saw a decrease to 7% below 2019 levels. This unique decrease is likely related to the closure of US-97 near the Oregon border due to wildfires in northern California
