Bowmont Rd., Lynwood to SH-45

This is federally funded project to improve that portion of the Western Route Express Way consisting of Bowmont Road between Lynnwood and SH-45.  The principal aim is to fix the existing “dog leg” intersection at SH-45, and straighten the portion between La Pine and SH-45 to run along the section line. 

The project is just beginning the “preliminary design” phase, with no construction date set yet.  This type of project typically takes three to five years to design, obtain environmental clearance and purchase right-of-way, so construction is anticipated around 2015 to 2017.
