City of Bend opens online open house, sets in-person meeting on Reed Market Road railroad crossing project
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The city of Bend invited residents Wednesday to take part in an open house, in person or online, to help shape the direction of the new Reed Market Road railroad crossing project.
- In person: Monday, Dec. 9, 5:30–7:30 p.m., at the Larkspur Community Center, 1600 SE Reed Market Road
- Online: Dec. 4–18 at bendoregon.gov/reedmarket-rrcrossing
Reed Market Road is a vital east-west arterial in southeast Bend. Improvements at the Reed Market Road railroad crossing have long been a priority for the community.
This first phase of the project will decide whether and how to build a bridge over (or tunnel under) the railroad tracks on SE Reed Market Road. Separating the roadway from the railroad would end railroad crossing delays and improve safety for all travelers, the city says.

This project is partly funded by the voter approved 2020 Transportation GO Bond. If all goes as planned, the crossing will be built in 2027-28.
