The purpose of this meeting is to provide information and answer questions on a proposed project to construct improvements to the US 181 interchange at SH 35, in the town of Gregory and in the vicinity of the City of Portland.

Description:

This is the second phase in a project to construct improvements to US 181 and the US 181/SH 35 interchange. The first phase of the project included the construction of an overpass at the Union Pacific Railroad just north of Gregory and improvements to the intersections at FM 2986 and Spur 202.

  • Grade separations at Childress Street, Sunset Road and at SH 35
