Redmond’s Eastside Arterial Project reaches milestone: Third leg of new roundabout opens

REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The City of Redmond said Friday it has opened the third leg of the new roundabout at NE 9th Street and OR 126, allowing for traffic flow on NE 9^th Street to the north. This follows the opening of the first two legs last month for traffic on OR 126 between Redmond and Prineville.  

The final leg, connecting to the newly constructed road south of the roundabout, will open in 2026 upon completion of the adjacent roundabout near the airport, the city said.

The phased rollout is part of the broader Eastside Arterial Project, aimed at improving connectivity and relieving congestion on Redmond’s eastside.
