for the proposed interchange modification on Interstate 5 (I-5) (Pacific Highway) at Kuebler Boulevard (milepost 251.53), approximately 2.3 miles south of the I-5/Oregon 22 (OR 22) (North Santiam Highway) interchange in the City of Salem and unincorporated Marion County, Oregon. The IAMP was prepared in collaboration with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD), the City of Salem, Marion County, and the Mid-Willamette Valley Council of Governments (MWVCOG). Currently, some limited modifications and improvements are planned for the Kuebler Boulevard interchange. Oregon’s 2008-2011 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program
