Project Information
This area has seen increasing traffic and a relatively high rate of crashes. Improving safety and access to OR 22 are important for your trip, whether you're a local headed to Monmouth and Independence on OR 51, a truck driver delivering goods, or a tourist headed to the coast.
Our goal of the planning and design process is to:
Improve safety at the OR 22 and OR 51 intersection.
Provide safe access for local residents and businesses along OR 22.
Support the community growth and economic development in the area.
Project tasks:
Environmental research and onsite investigations.
Issues this project addresses:
With the help of the community, the project team has identified some of the issues this project plans to address.
Making a left turn at the OR 22 and OR 51 intersection is challenging due to heavy traffic and high vehicle speeds.
To avoid using the OR 22 and OR 51 intersection, some drivers have been taking South Oak Grove Road which increases safety concerns on local roads.
Drivers can find it challenging to safely enter or exit OR 22 from local roads or commericial properties due to the speed difference of vehicles.

Online Open House – Nov. 2-30, 2022
Thank you to everyone who left feedback in our online open house. It's important as we work to improve safety and look at how traffic moves through the two and a half mile stretch of OR 22 between Rickreall Road and Doaks Ferry Road.
If you missed it, you can still view the archived online open house to explore the four interchange options, learn about our next steps, ask questions and provide feedback to help us choose the best option.
Virtual Event – Nov. 16, 2022
