Project Description
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Clackamas County propose to build a new, east-west oriented, limited-access highway between I-205 and the Rock Creek Junction. The purpose of the proposed Sunrise Project is to effectively address the existing congestion and safety problems in the OR 212/224 corridor between its interchange with I-205 and Rock Creek Junction, and to serve the growing demand for regional travel and access to the state highway system.
Project Status
Late this spring, the two Sunrise Project committees recommended
Alternative 2 (Build with a midpoint interchange in the 122nd area) as
the preferred alternative for the Sunrise Project. This alternative
will now go to the local jurisdictions for adoption and then be
forwarded to the Federal Highway Administration for approval in the
Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS).
With
transportation funding being considered and authorized at the state and
federal levels this year, there may be opportunities for initial
elements of the project to be built in the next few years.
The Policy Review Committee (PRC) will
make final recommendations on improvements to the OR 212/224 and 82nd
Drive intersection late in July. For more information about upcoming meetings, click here!
