More> Welcome to the City of Oregon City's Jughandle Project website - your source for news and information about the construction of improvements to Highway 213, Washington Street, Clackamas River Drive, and Redland Road. The Jughandle Project improvements are designed to reduce congestion and enhance safety on Highway 213 near the Interstate 205 interchange. Construction of the project began in spring 2011 and will conclude by spring 2013. The City, in partnership with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), is using night work and a rapid bridge construction method to ensure that during the vast majority of the project's construction, all travel lanes on Highway 213 will be open to traffic in the daytime. Please explore this website to learn more about the project's purpose, design, and how it will modify some local routes of travel. You can also check back to this page throughout construction for updates on the project's current and upcoming work (posted below).
