The Deschutes County Road Department will close a section of Huntington Road near the Three Rivers community in Bend, Oregon from April 13 to April 26 for construction work related to the South Century Drive/Huntington Road roundabout project. Drivers will be detoured using Vandevert Road, U.S. 97 and State Recreation Road, and can also expect delays due to a single-lane closure on the north and west sides of the South Century Drive intersection.

Why it matters

This road closure will impact traffic flow and access in the Three Rivers community for a two-week period, requiring drivers to plan ahead and use alternate routes. The roundabout project aims to improve traffic safety and flow in the area, but the temporary closure may cause inconvenience for local residents and businesses.

The details

The Huntington Road closure will be in effect from the South Century Drive intersection to about 500 feet south of the intersection. In addition to the Huntington Road closure, there will be a continuous single-lane closure on the north and west sides of the South Century Drive intersection during the same time period. A temporary traffic signal will be used to guide traffic through the work zone, and drivers should expect delays of up to 20 minutes during busy travel times.

  • The Huntington Road closure will be in effect from Monday, April 13 through Sunday, April 26.
  • The single-lane closure on the north and west sides of the South Century Drive intersection will also be in place from April 13-26.
