About
Within Medford, this modernization and safety project widens two miles of Foothill Road between Hillcrest and Delta Waters Roads to an urban standard for safety and future capacity.
In most sections, the current two-lane roadway will be widened to five lanes, with a center turn lane, curb, gutter, sidewalk and bike lanes.
Constructs a 1,000 foot section of the new South Stage Road off North Phoenix Road.
The Jackson County portion is from Dry Creek Road south to Delta Waters Road.
This safety project will construct two lane roadway with multi-use shoulders with center turn lanes at Dry Creek, Coker Butte and Devils Garden Roads.
The project will straighten and improve the existing hills and curves in the area near Dry Creek and Coker Butte Roads.
ODOT is inspecting this project and handling contract administration in coordination with the City of Medford.
