Bend, Ore. – Construction on the roundabout at the intersection of 15th Street and Ferguson Road in Bend, Ore., will begin June 22. The intersection will fully close to safely complete the work, with detours in place for motorists.

Project Details

The project is a voter-approved 2020 Transportation GO Bond initiative. The work includes constructing a new roundabout, road resurfacing and creating a new shared-use path. The intersection closure is timed with summer break to help reduce traffic impacts and construction is expected to wrap up in the fall. The full closure will occur only after Ferguson Road near 27th Street reopens to two-way traffic.

The new shared-use path is a component of the larger Bend Bikeway Project. Residents can learn more about the project, view detour information and sign up for updates by visiting the city’s website.
