Willamette River in Salem

(SALEM) - A task force comprised of area stakeholders that will consider the Salem River Crossing Project will meet from 5:30 to 7:30 PM on Thursday, in the Mt. Jefferson Room at Oregon Department of Transportation Region 2 headquarters, located at 455 Airport Road SE in Salem, Building B.

Task force meetings are open to the public and include time for public comment.

The Salem River Crossing Project is being conducted by the City of Salem and ODOT to develop solutions for crossing the Willamette River in the Salem-Keizer metropolitan area that meet transportation needs, are compatible with the built and natural environments and have broad community and regional support.

The project will build on results of previous studies and will include development of an environmental impact statement (EIS) and a funding strategy to move any identified solutions toward implementation.

Members of the task force include leaders of neighborhood and civic groups on both sides of the river, public agency staff and representatives of interest groups with a stake in the project.
