Final design and right of way purchases are ongoing for the first two phases of the Oregon 62 Expressway project- from the south corridor, near Whittle Ave., north along the old Medco Haul Road east of the airport to near Corey Road in White City.
 
A multi-modal subcommittee has been meeting this spring and summer to examine transit solutions the project that can reduce the number of daily, personal vehicle trips in the corridor.

Highway 62 Corridor Overview
 
An Environmental Impact Statement for the Highway 62 Corridor is scheduled for completion in the Winter of 2010. It encompasses the corridor from Poplar Drive in Medford east to White City and complements improvements completed at the North Medford Interchange (Unit 1).
 
The  purpose for the project is to increase capacity and safety for this congested strategic highway corridor connecting Interstate 5 with Oregon Highways 140 and 62. This corridor serves as a critical connection for freight, tourism and commuter traffic in both the local and regional area. The corridor is currently exceeding capacity standards and future growth in the area is expected to significantly increase traffic volumes throughout the corridor.
