The Bend City Council has authorized about $7.04 million for street preservation work in Bend this summer to improve 125 of lane miles of Bend’s roads.

This included a $5.3 million agreement with Granite Construction that will improve 50 lane miles with grind-and-inlay and overlay treatments. This will include work on some high-use streets including Skyliner Road, Century Drive, Colorado Avenue and Olney/Penn/Neff. Some of this work will occur at night to minimize disruptions to the public.

The Council has also approved a $710,709 contract with Intermountain Slurry Seal for slurry seal treatments on about 60 lane miles around the City, and an $824,073 contract with Alex Hodge Construction for Shevlin Park Road and Mount Washington roundabout reconstruction. In a joint venture with Deschutes County, the City will chip-seal approximately 15 lane miles around the City, too.
