Project Description:
|
There are approximately 10 interpreted Lewis & Clark sites in Clatsop County. Most are reached off of US 101, US 30, or OR 202. Intersection improvements are needed to deal with safety hazards, to provide directional signing, and to accommodate left turn movements and left turn storage on Highway 30 MP from milepost 86.5 to 88. (Access to Twilight Creek Eagle Sanctuary, the first interpreted Lewis & Clark site on SR 30 leading into Astoria).
