ODOT Region 2 JTA Projects

House Bill 2001, also known as the Oregon Jobs and Transportation Act, is the transportation funding plan adopted by the 2009 Legislature. There are currently eight JTA funded projects within ODOT Region 2:

Beltline Highway at Delta Highway (Eugene/Springfield)

The project is expected to alleviate congestion and unsafe conditions in the Beltline Highway corridor, particularly at the interchange of Beltline Highway (OR 569) and Delta Highway (Lane County road), through the use of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). (Project Web site)

Highway 6 at US 101 (Tillamook)

The project is located in Tillamook County where State Highway 6 and U.S. Highway 101 come together in historic downtown Tillamook. The project will be designed to improve the safety and operations of these two highways as they converge. The project will also make the downtown intersections more efficient for those traveling through downtown and safer for everyone. (Project Summary | Project Web site) 

Highway 99W Newberg Dundee Bypass

This project is located near the Oregon 99W corridor, where the highway passes through Newberg and Dundee in eastern Yamhill County. The project will provide an alternate route for local commuter and freight traffic around the congestion in Dundee and south Newberg, reducing the number of vehicles using Oregon 99W. (Project Web site)

I-5 at Beltline (Eugene/Springfield)

This modernization project has been divided into smaller sections to make it easier to construct parts of the project as funding becomes available. Remaining work will continue to modernize the interchange, which serves interstate, regional, and local traffic to the surrounding residential and commercial centers. (Project Web site)

I-5 at Kuebler Interchange (Salem)

This project will upgrade the existing interchange to support the area’s planned expansion by adding an additional loop ramp and modifying the eastbound to southbound ramp and the existing southbound off ramp.  (Project Web site)

I-5 at Mill Creek (Salem)

The Mill Creek Corporate Center (MCCC) is a partnership between the State of Oregon and the City of Salem to create a major employment center on agricultural land previously owned by the Oregon Department of Corrections in Southeast Salem. (Project Web site)

Woodburn Interchange and Transit Facility

The project will improve the existing interchange and add a transit facility to improve traffic flow and safety and promote economic development in Woodburn and the surrounding area. (Project Web site)

I-5 interchange project spurs new development Woodburn Independent - April 3, 2013

The arrival of a second Dutch Bros. Coffee in town is just one of several new buildings that are expected to sprout up around the Woodburn Interchange Project in the months ahead.

There are, however, several businesses, including national fast food chains, banks and gas stations, that are located in the path of the $78.5 million project and will either need to be moved to new locations or redeveloped to allow construction to proceed.

No alternative routes slated for I-5 project Woodburn Independent - March 27, 2013

With construction set to begin on the massive Woodburn Interchange Project this summer, city and state officials have determined that drivers will have to fend for themselves when it comes to finding alternative routes.

That’s because no workable solutions were reached to divert traffic around construction off Interstate 5 on Highways 214 and 219 that would appease local neighborhood groups and meet budgetary constraints for the $78.5 million project, according to local and state officials.

Transfer approved for Woodburn work Statesman Journal - March 15, 2013

The final $10 million for the Woodburn interchange project on Interstate 5 has been put into place.

The Oregon House voted 54-0 Wednesday to transfer $10 million to the project from savings in the Beltline interchange project at I-5 in Eugene and Springfield. Senate Bill 258 now goes to Gov. John Kitzhaber.

Work is scheduled to start this summer. The bill was prompted when lawmakers reserved the right to make transfers of savings in projects they authorized in a 2009 transportation law.
