About

Enlarged project area mapThe Bethel Road intersection at OR 99W has had a high number of crashes.

This project will help reduce fatal and serious injury crashes at this intersection by:

  • Constructing left-turn lanes in both directions so vehicles moving through the intersection don't have to stop or slow down behind vehicles turning left.

  • Improving the alignment of Bethel Road so vehicles approaching can see oncoming traffic better before turning.
