To improve safety and mobility ODOT will expand US97 to create a four-lane divided highway. The new highway will tie into approximately 15 miles of recently constructed widening improvements on US 97 to the north, making the highway safer for users.
Location
The US97: S. Century Drive to USFS Boundary project is located south of Bend Oregon from the Sunriver interchange to the Forest Service Boundary six miles to the south.
