Traffic signals at US 97 and Pinebrook Blvd. to be permanently turned off Tuesday morning, November 3
Oregon Department of Transportation sent this bulletin at 11/02/2015 11:07 AM PST
The traffic signals at the intersection of U.S. 97 (Bend Parkway) and Pinebrook Boulevard will be permanently shut off early Tuesday morning, November 3. This is one of the last steps in this phase of the Murphy Road project. Shutting off the signals will allow construction of a raised median in the middle of U.S. 97 at Pinebrook Boulevard. Once the signals are shut down, only right in and right out turns at U.S. 97 and Pinebrook Boulevard will be allowed.
The construction of the median barrier will also require closing Pinebrook Boulevard on the west side of the U.S. 97 for up to two weeks. Residents in the Pinebrook Boulevard area will need to access their homes from Brookswood Boulevard.
Travelers wanting to go between 3rd Street and Brookswood Boulevard should use the new Murphy Road extension and overcrossing.

- 3-Way Stop to Remain at Brookswood/Baker Intersection
From Deschutes County (9/23/15):
“3-WAY STOP TO REMAIN AT BROOKSWOOD BOULEVARD/BAKER ROAD INTERSECTION
During recent construction of the Brookswood Boulevard/Murphy Road Roundabout Project, the nearby intersection of Brookswood Boulevard/Baker Road was converted to an interim 3-way stop to accommodate construction detour traffic.
The Road Department has evaluated operations upon normalization of traffic volumes at the conclusion of the project and determined that the 3-way stop will remain in place.
The Road Department utilized criteria established by the Federal Highway Administration’s Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, or MUTCD, to evaluate whether or not a 3-Way Stop is the appropriate traffic control for the intersection. The MUTCD criterion considers traffic volumes, distribution of traffic on the intersection approaches, as well as vehicle approach speeds.
Deschutes County requests that drivers exercise caution in navigating the intersection as motorists continue to adjust to the change in traffic control.
For more information, please contact the Deschutes County Road Department at 541-388-6581 (road@deschutes.org) or Chris Doty, Deschutes County Road Department Director, 541-322-7105, chris.doty@deschutes.org.”
