Road work on SW Canal Blvd beginning Monday, Aug.12

REDMOND – On Monday, Aug. 12, work will begin to improve the intersection of SW Canal Blvd, SW 61st St, and SW Quarry Ave. The project will include converting the existing six-way intersection into a four-way intersection with adjacent “T” intersections and constructing left-turn lanes on SW Canal Blvd at the intersection. The $957,000 project will be constructed by the County’s contractor, Knife River Corporation– Northwest. The project is anticipated to be completed by November 2019.

Road users should use caution and anticipate single lane closures and delays in the project area during project construction. Additionally, portions of SW Quarry Ave and SW 61st St will be closed within the project area beginning August 31. 

More information regarding these closures will be released before the closures occur, and detours routes will be provided. Please visit www.deschutes.org or TripCheck.com for current project traffic information.
