About

enlarged project map icon This is a busy area with schools, residences, businesses, recreational sites and the largest hospital serving Benton, Lincoln and Linn Counties.

Benton County is planning a network of shared use paths to connect communities on the north side of Corvallis for bike riding, walking and rolling.

We're partnering with Benton County to plan and design two bike and pedestrian bridges:

Over Jackson Creek for the proposed Corvallis to Adair Village Path.
Over OR 99W and the railroad tracks to connect the Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center to the Cheldelin neighborhood.

We're planning and designing this project but are not funded for construction.

Learn about what else we're working on to connect the two communities by visiting our Corvallis and Albany Connections webpage.
