Traffic Change: US 97 near South Century Drive
The Oregon Department of Transportation advises motorists that the US 97 northbound passing lane, south of South Century Drive (Sunriver entrance) will be temporarily removed to facilitate construction of the US 97 at South Century Drive Interchange project. This traffic change is expected to take place on Monday, July 24.
These travel lanes, located on US 97 between mile points 153.22 - 154.48, will be reduced from three total lanes, two northbound (includes passing lane) and one southbound, to two total lanes, one in each direction.
About the US 97 at South Century Drive Interchange project
South Century Drive serves as the primary access to Sunriver and recreation areas in southern Deschutes County. A full diamond interchange will be built to correct existing safety problems at the intersection and to accommodate an increase in traffic from projected population growth. The interchange will consist of two-lane bridges for both north- and southbound traffic on US 97. South Century Drive will go under the two bridges, which are separated by a 120-foot vegetative median. The final design includes landscaping and illumination.
