About the Project
The US 97/Baker Road Interchange was constructed in the early 1990s, primarily to serve the sparsely populated rural lands south of Bend. Since that time, Bend’s population nearly quadrupled, leading to heavier congestion and more crashes. With population growth in the area expected to continue, ODOT is preparing an IAMP to evaluate how the existing US 97/Baker Road interchange operates and to determine what measures are needed to keep it functioning well over the next 20 years.
