Abbot Drive/Wildflower Condo Tunnel
The replacement of another tunnel on Abbot Drive just south of Circle 2 and adjacent to the Wildflower Condos.
Construction is expected to take approximately eight weeks, weather permitting. This will be fourth replacement of Sunriver’s 13 aging tunnels.
During construction there will be no through traffic on Abbot Drive between Circle 2 and Circle 1. Detours will be in place and route traffic via Theater Drive off Circle 2.

Island Road will remain open during construction with local access off Circle 2 to the following:
- North end Wildflower Condos off Brassie & Mashie lanes
- Meadow House Condos 1-65
- Salishan
- Oakmont
- Augusta
- Doral
- Colonial
- Makaha
- Olympic
- Spyglass
Access to south end Wildflower Condos located on Wild Lily Lane and Sunriver Resort’s human resources offices will be from the south end of Abbot Drive from Circle 1 only.
The original corrugated tunnels have been in place since the original build of Sunriver between the late 1960s through the 1980s. The tunnels are narrow and only allowed one way traffic at any given time. The new, concrete tunnels are wider and will accommodate two-way bicycle and pedestrian traffic.
