Newport Corridor Improvements will replace the aging and failing stormwater drainage system along Newport Avenue from College Way to 9^th Street, and down Nashville Avenue to the Deschutes River.

The project will also provide drainage improvements in the South Awbrey Butte area to reduce flows into the Newport Avenue system. These drainage improvements will help prevent flooding and improve the water quality discharged to the Deschutes River.

In addition to the drainage system improvements, Newport Corridor upgrades will also:

• Reconstruct the roadway from College Way to 9^th Street
• Replace the existing sewer trunk line
• Replace water distribution pipes in the rebuilt roadway
• Install new sidewalks, curb ramps, lighting, landscape irrigation, and signage
