Phase 1 included the completion of a refinement plan for the Murphy Road Corridor between 3rd and 15th streets. Phase 2 began the preliminary design for several segments of the Murphy Corridor. Phase 3 includes design, environmental documentation, and construction of the following:
- Murphy Road from Parrell Road to Brookswood Boulevard, including the Murphy Road overcrossing of US 97
- Ramp connections to and from US 97, Murphy Road, and 3rd Street
The City of Bend and Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) received new state funding provided though the Jobs and Transportation Act passed by the Oregon Legislature last session. This new funding for Phase 3 will allow the improvements to Murphy Road and the surrounding connections to and from US 97 to become a reality.
The City and ODOT have formed a partnership for development and construction of these improvements. For more information about this project, please review the US 97/Murphy Road project information sheet. The project design has been moving forward over the past several months. The original design concept evolved into the revised design concept, which was discussed at public meetings. Detailed plans and project information are located on the Murphy Overcrossing - Project Materials page.
Phase 3 has been officially designated by ODOT as the "US 97/Murphy Road: Brookswood Blvd to Parrell Rd." The City and ODOT are also working together to complete the US 97: South Parkway/Murphy Crossing Interchange Area Management Plan in parallel with Phase 3. Phases 1 and 2 of the Murphy Road Corridor Project and other related projects are explained on the Project Background page.
