Rossanley Drive will be closed from May 1-23 as Knife River builds a roundabout and widens the road for the Rogue X aquatics center project.

Starting Monday, May 1, Rossanley Drive will be closed until May 23 as road crews build a new roundabout and widen the road as part of infrastructure improvements for the Rogue X aquatic center.

The closure will extend from Kingswood Drive to Cheshire Way.

A detour will be in place to direct traffic to North Ross Lane, West Main Street and Hanley Road, according to a post on the city of Medford Facebook page.

Knife River has been hired to construct the new roundabout and widen the road.

Rogue X is located in Howard Memorial Sports Park at the corner of Rossanley Drive and Ross Lane in west Medford.

The massive facility will have two pools, one for competition and one for recreation, as well as a giant indoor recreation building that’s the size of eight basketball courts.

The competition pool will have 11 deep-water lanes and two shallow lanes. The two pools will replace the former pool at Hawthorne Park as well as the pool at Jackson Park, which will open for the last time this summer. 

A grand-opening date for the $76 million Rogue X project, officially named the Rogue Credit Union Community Complex, hasn’t been set, but city officials recently said it is expected to be sometime before Christmas of this year.
