The construction year is yet to be determined, but it could be as early as 2027.

In 2018, ODOT conducted a comprehensive study to enhance safety at the at-grade intersections along the U.S. 23 corridor. Based on the study’s findings, ODOT is now proceeding with the recommended construction of an interchange to significantly improve intersection safety.
