US97: NW galloway AVE - O'neil HWY

Federal Grant Award Summary

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) $107,257.50 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on August 15, 2025, for the design and construction of safety improvements at the intersection of Northwest Galloway Avenue and O'Neil Highway in Oregon. The project deliverables include engineering design and construction of traffic control features specifically engineered to eliminate intersection crossing crashes and left-turn crashes from side streets at this location, with the final configuration restricting traffic movements to right-in and right-out operations from NW Galloway Avenue to O'Neil Highway, along with left-in movements to support safe traffic flow patterns.

This formula grant award reflects the FHWA's statutory allocation to Oregon for highway safety improvements, a core eligible activity under the Highway Planning and Construction program. The project addresses highway safety priorities through intersection design modifications that reduce crash exposure by controlling vehicle movement patterns, consistent with the program's emphasis on safety improvements to public roadways. As a state department of transportation administering federal-aid highway funds, ODOT selected this project through its established transportation planning process and maintains responsibility for project oversight, design approval, and construction administration in accordance with federal stewardship requirements.

Project description

Design and construct features that will eliminate all intersection crossing and left turn crashes from the side streets at this location and allow for only right-in, right-out, left in traffic movements from NW galloway AVE to O'neil HWY.
