REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) – The City of Redmond has scheduled paving next week of the final section of the Reservoir Drive Improvement project between SW 39th and SW 43rd Street.

The Work will occur October 15 through October 17 (weather permitting)., the city said in a news release Friday that continues in full below:

Due to the nature of the work, a full closure is required, and flaggers will be directing traffic.   Drivers are asked to avoid traveling in the area, as there has been a significant uptick of commuters cutting through the construction zones which may cause project delays.   

Reservoir Drive is scheduled to fully reopen October 31.  

“Phase 2 of the Reservoir Drive Improvement Project has been underway since April, and we are excited to see the newly constructed road and infrastructure improvements nearing completion,” states Redmond Principal Engineer Jake Sherman.
