Newport Corridor Online Open House

newport

The City of Bend is hosting an online open house to share an update about the Newport Corridor Improvements Project. The open house includes an overview of the 2022 project schedule, short videos about what makes this project unique, and ways to contact the project team. The virtual open house is online now through February 9, 2022 at bendoregon.gov/newportimprovements.

The Newport Corridor Improvements is a multi-phase project combining several types of needed infrastructure improvements, from replacing failing stormwater infrastructure and aging sewer and water pipes to improving safety and connectivity for all users. The project extends along Newport Avenue from College Way to 9th Street and on Nashville Avenue to the Deschutes River.

Construction on the Newport Corridor Improvements Project began in spring of 2021. Completed portions include new pavement, better sidewalks and stormwater planters. However, the Newport Corridor Improvements Project also includes miles of water, sewer, stormwater and natural gas pipes under the roadway. The project involves replacing old utility pipes and building a new stormwater system while continuing to provide the neighborhood with sewer, water and stormwater services.

Work continues on Newport Avenue from College Way to Juniper Avenue. Construction on Newport Avenue from Ninth Street to 10th Street is anticipated to begin by early February 2022. Staggered starts of the remaining segments are estimated to begin in spring/summer 2022. Full project completion is estimated by end of winter 2022.

The City will close streets and establish detours where there is active construction. Access to all businesses will remain open during construction. Business access signs will designate vehicular entrance points and pedestrian entry routes to your favorite businesses.
