Redmond is launching a transformative $33 million infrastructure project to construct a new Eastside arterial network, addressing the growing road congestion as the city’s population expands. This strategic investment, set to begin construction in 2025, aims to provide residents and travelers with alternative routes across Redmond, effectively alleviating traffic on Highways 97 and 126. The three-year plan includes constructing new roadways, connecting existing ones, and adding two new roundabouts. The project will extend 9th Street through the old Juniper Golf Course, featuring two lanes with bike paths, and upgrade existing sections of 9th Street with additional lanes and potential sidewalks or multi-use paths. Two key roundabouts will be constructed: one at the new intersection of 9th Street and Highway 126 and another at the junction of 9th Street, Veterans Way, and Airport Way.
The Site will directly benefit from this development, being strategically located at the intersection of E Antler Ave and NE 9th St. The project’s focus on upgrading 9th Street will significantly enhance the Site’s accessibility and connectivity. Furthermore, the planned roundabouts will improve traffic flow in the area, positioning the Site at a crucial node in Redmond’s evolving transportation network. This infrastructure investment not only addresses immediate transportation needs but creates new development opportunities, particularly in the industrial sector. By proactively improving its transportation infrastructure, Redmond is enhancing its appeal to businesses seeking efficient logistics networks and access to developable land, further solidifying the city’s position as a key player in Central Oregon’s economic landscape.
