Improvements at the Route 222/Route 30 Interchange and reconstructing Route 222 from the interchange north approximately one mile near Stoner Park, which is just south of the Landis Valley Road bridge spanning the highway.Constructing a second lane on the Route 222 South ramp to Route 30 West that will tie into the existing Route 272 (Oregon Pike) exit ramp.A third lane will be added from the Route 30 West ramp to Route 222 North while extending this lane to the existing Route 30 West third lane approaching Oregon Pike (Route 272).Constructing a second ramp lane from Route 30 East to Route 222 North. The new ramp lane will tie into the existing Route 30 travel lane (right lane), giving drivers using the right lane of Route 30 East the option to continue east or exit to Route 222 North.Route 222 will be converted from four lanes to six lanes from the interchange to the north end of the project limits.The two bridges carrying Route 222 ramps over Route 30 will be replaced, with the northbound Route 222 bridge being widened to two lanes. The Eden Road bridge spanning Route 222 north of the interchange will remain in place. Route 222 under the bridge will be lowered to increase clearance under the bridge.
