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.

project emails iconWe're planning to build and will have a better idea about the construction schedule and cost as we get further into design.

When construction starts you can expect a road closure with a signed detour for about two to three weeks. Make sure you're signed up to get project updates​ to find out when the closure will start.
