About
The Oregon Legislature, through House Bill 2017, required the Oregon Transportation Commission to study the costs to upgrade and transfer the segment of SE Powell Boulevard from the intersection with SE 9th Avenue to the I-205 interchange, also known as Inner Powell.
The OTC directed ODOT to prepare the
Inner Powell: SE 9th to I-205 State of Good Repair Study.
The study establishes a state of good repair threshold for various roadway elements to help ODOT determine the cost to upgrade existing assets. This study will inform continuing efforts to transfer ownership of Inner Powell from ODOT to the City of Portland.
The OTC submitted a report of the study’s findings to the Oregon Legislature’s Joint Committee on Transportation on December 30, 2019.
