What Problem Will This Improve?
A Refinement Plan for the segment of U.S. 97 between the southern City of Madras limits and the "Southern Y" was recommended in the 2018 update to the city of Madras Transportation System Plan (TSP). As the south Madras area continues to develop, access to areas east and west of the highway will compete with the high travel demand along the highway.
