Weekly Construction Update – March 13, 2020

Construction activities for the upcoming week include:

• Crews will construct retaining walls. 
• Utility work will continue on the east side of Murphy Road.
• Crews will finish prepping sidewalks and continue pouring concrete for the roundabout, curbs, median, and truck apron.
• Due to extended work hours into next week, please expect concrete work through 8 p.m.

As part of the new High School project, construction of a new roundabout at the intersection of Knott Road and 15th Street will begin Monday, March 16. Traffic going north and south on 15th Street will be detoured via the new, unnamed collector road connecting 15th Street and Brosterhous Road. Access to Tekampe Road from Knott Road will be maintained via a temporary, all-weather access road. If you have any questions about this project, please contact engineering@bendoregon.gov.

Please stay out of the construction work zone during and after work hours for your safety and the safety of construction crews.

Road Closures:

• Northbound and southbound traffic on Brosterhous Road is closed at Murphy Road.
• Brown Trout Place is closed to traffic at Murphy Road.
• A temporary two-lane bypass road is open at the southwest corner of Brosterhous Road, connecting to Murphy Road to accommodate traffic around the construction area.
