The Salem River Crossing project is working toward finding a solution that will reduce traffic congestion for all users
(buses, cars, trucks, bikes) on the two bridges that cross the Willamette River and the connecting roads in downtown and
West Salem.
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT)
and the City of Salem published and collected public and agency
comments on the Draft EIS through June 18, 2012.
The Draft EIS assessed the impacts of
8 alternatives plus a no-build alternative, as well as visualizations of what
each alternative would look like. The Final EIS will analyze the locally preferred alternative (all local jurisdictions must reach
consensus on the Locally Preferred Alternative) and will respond to public and local agencies/organizations comments on the Draft EIS.
