New SE Bend roundabout planned at 15th Street and Ferguson Road; open house coming up

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The city of Bend is inviting community members to a pre-construction open house for the Southeast 15^th Street and Ferguson Road Roundabout Project.

The open house will take place on Tuesday, April 28, from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. at Larkspur Community Center, 1600 SE Reed Market Road. The open house will be held both in person and online to share project construction information.

City officials say the single-lane roundabout at Ferguson Road and 15^th Street aims to improve safety and increase efficiency. Pending City Council approval, the project is anticipated to begin construction in June and be completed in the fall.

The drop-in event offers residents an opportunity to meet the project team, ask questions, learn more about the project schedule and what to expect during construction. The same information will also be available on the project website at bendoregon.gov/15th-ferguson.

The project focuses on enhancing safety and improving traffic flows at the busy intersection.

This project is funded through the voter-approved 2020 Transportation GO Bond.
