The planned roundabout at Skyline Ranch Road and Skyliners Road in Bend was intended to improve traffic flow, but the available project report does not confirm that construction was completed or that traffic concerns eased. In a May 12, 2025 notice, KTVZ said work was scheduled to begin June 16 and continue through the end of August, with the intersection fully closed during construction.
Where the roundabout was planned
The project is at the intersection of Skyline Ranch Road and Skyliners Road on Bend’s Westside. The Discovery West neighborhood’s developer was to fund and build the roundabout under its development agreement with the City of Bend, according to KTVZ’s May 12, 2025 report.

What drivers were told about construction and detours
The May 2025 notice described a full closure of the intersection while construction was underway. Its schedule—starting June 16, 2025 and continuing through the end of August—was a forecast, not confirmation of the work’s eventual timing or completion.
Skyliners Road traffic
Drivers on Skyliners Road were directed to detour via Mt. Washington Drive to NW Crossing Drive, then return to Skyliners Road.

Northbound Skyline Ranch Road traffic from Tetherow
Northbound drivers from Tetherow were directed to use Metolius to reach Mt. Washington Drive, then follow the detour routes.
Why the project was planned
City of Bend officials said the roundabout was intended to improve movement through what they described as a very busy intersection. The KTVZ report quoted officials: “Once completed, this roundabout will facilitate more efficient traffic movement at this very busy intersection.” It also said the project would facilitate completing Skyline Ranch Road north to Shevlin Park Road over the following couple of years.

Does the project show that traffic concerns eased?
No measured result is established in the available report. It gives no before-and-after traffic, delay, crash, or safety figures, and its construction schedule is an announced plan rather than a completion update. The stated goal of more efficient traffic movement should therefore not be treated as proof that congestion or other concerns were resolved.
What is known about the project’s current status
The cited report is dated May 12, 2025 and describes upcoming work. It does not establish whether the roundabout opened, whether current access or traffic patterns differ, or whether the intended improvements occurred. For those details, consult a newer City of Bend or local traffic update rather than relying on the 2025 construction notice.
