• Removing the current I-205 northbound on-ramp from OR 43 and replacing it with a roundabout.

• Realigning or widening the on- and off-ramps at OR 99E.

Project design and the first phase of the project are fully funded. Phase 1 will use financing tools recently approved by the Oregon Legislature. Toll revenue is needed to complete future phases the I-205 Improvements Project and could be used to pay back the funds borrowed for the Abernethy Bridge. The Toll Program is working to create a system that works for all travelers and local neighbors. Get involved and learn more about the I-205 Toll Project »
