PURPOSE AND NEED
Buckhorn Road is an aggregate-surfaced, north-south collector roadway located west of Redmond that connects NW Lower Bridge Way to OR Hwy 126. Buckhorn Road provides access to over 100,000 acres of federal lands and recreational use areas, including the Crooked River National Grasslands and the Cline Buttes OHV area. Buckhorn Road is also a critical link for emergency services to access communities west of Terrebonne in the event of a closure on NW Lower Bridge Way. Buckhorn Road currently lacks functional and safety characteristics of a County Collector roadway.
This project is the first phase of a comprehensive improvement to Buckhorn Road. The second phase includes improvement of Buckhorn Road between M.P. 1.6 and OR 126, which is approved for funding under the Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) and will be delivered by Western Federal Lands Highway Division (WFLHD).

The Project scope includes:
- Modernizing to Collector Roadway standards by constructing a 28-foot-wide asphalt concrete pavement wearing surface with shoulder bikeways and 2-foot-wide aggregate shoulders
- Installing new Signage, Delineation and Roadside Barrier
- Removing roadside hazards and obstructions
