Start of <br /> (millions) Construction <br /> New Youngs Bay Bridge Reduce traffic $400 <br /> The project would add capacity to congestion <br /> the crossing of Youngs Bay. Project Improve freight <br /> has not started environmental docu- mobility <br /> mentation. The Youngs Bay Bridge Enhance safety <br /> currently operates over capacity and <br /> is a bottleneck in the Astoria-War- <br /> renton area. <br /> I-5: Kuebler Blvd to Linn County Reduce traffic $500 <br /> Line congestion <br /> The project would add capacity to Improve freight <br /> <br /> I-5, likely 3 lanes in each direction. mobility <br /> Project would also improve several Enhance safety <br /> interchanges within the section. <br /> OR 22: Gaffin Road to 25th Reduce traffic $100 <br /> The project would improve capac- congestion <br /> ity within the section, adding a 3rd Improve freight <br /> travel lane each direction from I -5 mobility <br /> to 25th Street. Project also would Enhance safety <br /> include a grade separated intersec- <br /> tion treatment at 25th Street. Proj- <br /> ectmay also include upgrades to <br /> <br /> I-5 interchange and Lancaster Drive <br /> interchange. <br /> OR 18: Van Duzer -Steel Bridge Reduce traffic $100 <br /> Road congestion <br /> The project would pro vide addi- Improve freight <br /> tional capacity from the Van Duzer m o b i I ity <br /> corridor to Steel Bridge Road, two Enhance safety <br /> travel lanes each direction.

A location environmental <br /> <br /> assessment has been completed for <br /> the project. <br /> OR 22: New Salem Willamette Reduce traffic $670 <br /> River Crossing congestion <br /> The project would add capacity Improve freight <br /> <br /> across the Willamette River in Sa- mobility <br /> lem. Project could include building Enhance safety <br /> <br /> a new bridge north of the existing <br /> bridges, providing a better con- <br /> nection to the Salem Parkway/ <br /> Keizer/I-5 north. Project also could <br /> include a direct connection from OR <br /> <br /> 22 to the new bridge. Project has <br /> not completed the EIS process. <br /> 56 <br /> <br />
