Project-Details

This area has seen increasing traffic and a relatively high rate of crashes. Improving safety and access to OR 22 is important, whether you're headed to Monmouth and Independence on OR 51, a truck driver delivering goods, or a tourist headed to the coast. Learn more about the history of this project and the area by reading our history document.

The purpose of this project was to find solutions to improve safety and mobility from Rickreall Road to Doaks Ferry Road NW. Our goal was to create future potential projects to address safety and crash history problems along this corridor, including:  

• ​Environmental research and onsite investigations.
• Reviewing and documenting right-of-way needs.
• Developing potential design concepts and cost estimates.
