On Monday, August 10, work will begin to improve the intersection of Old Bend-Redmond Highway and Tumalo Road. The project will include constructing a roundabout, installing intersection illumination and other safety improvements.
The $1,157,000 project will be constructed by the County’s contractor, Knife River Corporation– Northwest. The project is anticipated to be completed by November 11, 2020.
Road users should use caution and anticipate single lane closures and delays in the project area during project construction. Tumalo Road west of the intersection will be closed within the project area beginning August 31. After completing construction to the west of the intersection, Tumalo Road east of the intersection will be closed within the project area, beginning in October.
More information regarding these closures will be released before the closures occur, and detours routes will be provided.
