Interstate
Road Hearing
In its continuing effort to
provide the best possible corri
dor considerations for Inter
state 82, the Oregon State
Highway Division will present
an additional possibility at the
public hearing scheduled for
March 1 in Pendleton, it was
announced today by W.E.
Schwartz, region engineer in
LaGrande.
The new proposition will be
officially designated "Corridor
H Alternate," and will extend
from Interstate 80N, near the
western edge of Pendleton in a
generally northerly direction to
the Washington border. The
plans call for the proposed
corridor to run generally north
along the section lines so there
wil be the least possible damage
to individual ownerships bo
cause of severance.
