Bend, Ore. – It will be a busy summer. The City of Bend is planning street preservation projects that will upgrade streets and intersections, and sewer line construction that will disrupt traffic as well. Sometimes private development projects require a lane closure. Cascade Natural Gas is upgrading its lines and will be in the rights of way at times. Occasionally, special events occur that also require temporary road closures.
The road reports will be posted on the front of the City’s web page, www.bendoregon.gov, and can be delivered to your inbox if you subscribe to enews through www.bendoregon.gov/enews (sign up for General News).
