Murphy Corridor Improvements
For many years, improving the Murphy Corridor has been a priority for the City of Bend, as it is in an area experiencing significant growth. In May 2019, construction on this long-awaited project began, with the Consor team serving as construction manager. Using the Progressive Design-Build (PDB) delivery method, the City of Bend transformed a two-lane City road into a multi-modal corridor that provides a vital east-west connection over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railway tracks to serve the southeast area of Bend—an important hub for the community that encompasses an established neighborhood, a park, and a school.
The finished project—completed in August 2021—modernized and widened one mile of existing roadway and constructed three new roundabouts and a half mile of new road, which includes a bridge over the BNSF tracks. The community now benefits from faster emergency medical services and fire response times, along with improved mobility and safety for pedestrians and bicyclists throughout Murphy Corridor.

- $37M progressive desgin-build project providing vital east-west connectivity for a rapidly growing community
