BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
The Deschutes County Road Department is delivering the S Century Drive/Huntington Road
Intersection Improvements project, which includes construction of a roundabout at the
intersection (nnctruirtinn —ifthe . — I-l-- L reqi,iirec temporary -irate ... 1 anal `hanged in
the roadway alignments within the vicinity of the construction site. Construction is
anticipated to take up to nine months. Due to observed traffic volumes on the subject
roadways and the required temporary widening/change in roadway alignment to
accommodate two lanes of vehicle traffic during construction, Road Department staff have
determined that a temporary speed limit of 25 mph is prudent to maintain safety for the
travelling public during construction.
Pursuant to ORS 810.180(8), a road authority may establish by ordinance or order a
temporary designated speed for a highway that is lower than the statutory speed. The
Road Department is requesting that a temporary designated speed of 25 mph be
implemented on South Century Drive and Huntington Road within the project work zone.
The current posted speeds on S Century Drive and Huntington Rd within the vicinity of the
intersection are 50 mph and 40 mph, respectively.
Adoption of Order No. 2025-052 will implement a temporary designated speed of 25 mph
on S Century Drive and Huntington Rd within the vicinity of the intersection. The
temporary speed limit will be in effect for the duration of the intersection improvement
project, which is presently anticipated to be substantially completed by June 30, 2026.
