About

enlarged project map iconThis area has had a high rate of traffic and crashes. Improving safety and access to OR 22 and OR 51 is important, whether you're heading to Rickreall from OR 51, a truck driver delivering goods, or a tourist heading to the coast. 

In 2025, we:

  • ​Changed how you access OR 22 at the intersection. 
    • ​No left turns from 55th Avenue onto eastbound OR 22.
    • ​​No left turns from northbound OR 51 onto westbound OR 22. OR 51 drivers can use S Oak Grove Road to access westbound OR 22. 
  • ​Updated signs as needed.
  • Installed new striping, reflective pavement markers, barricades and tubular markers where needed.

email alerts iconWe made these intersection improvements with the limited funding we had. We're working on a project​ that plans for long-term safety improvements at this location. The project is studying the area to recommend a design plan that improves safety at the OR 22 and OR 51 intersection and supporting access roads. We don't have funding for construction at this time.
