North fork road guardrail improvements (marion county)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) a $320,964.76 Project Grant on August 25, 2025, under the Federal Lands Access Program (CFDA 20.224) to construct approximately 5,350 feet of guardrail and shoulder improvements at ten locations along North Fork Road SE in Marion County, Oregon. The project is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2029. The Federal Lands Access Program provides funding to improve transportation facilities that provide access to, are adjacent to, or are located within federal lands, supplementing state and local resources for public road improvements and related infrastructure.

ODOT sub-awarded the project to Marion County Public Works, the local transportation infrastructure agency responsible for executing the guardrail and shoulder construction work. The guardrail and shoulder improvements address existing operational and safety issues along the North Fork Road corridor, enhancing transportation facility conditions and public safety at the ten designated locations. As a sub-recipient of federal grant funding, Marion County Public Works will be responsible for project delivery, record retention, and compliance with applicable federal requirements throughout the performance period.
