Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is hosting an open house on Tuesday, December 2 from 4:30-6:30pm at Dogwood at The Pine Shed, 821 NE Second St. in Bend. This open house is an opportunity for the community to learn more about the Hawthorne Crossing project and new design, meet the project team, ask questions and provide comments.

On September 24, Bend City Council selected a truss bridge style for the Hawthorne Crossing, which will provide a bicycle and pedestrian bridge to connect east and west Bend.

A mountain theme will be integrated to ensure the bridge is iconic and unique to Bend.

The new bridge type will be shown as well
