Route 132 - Delta Highway

Oregon Route 132 / Delta Highway is a freeway linking I-105/OR 126 near the Willamette River with OR 569 (Belt Line Highway) in north Eugene. I-105/OR 126 provides the main route into Downtown Eugene from Interstate 5 and the city of Springfield. The Belt Line Highway constitutes an east-west bypass of Eugene between OR 126 (11th Avenue) west of Eugene, OR 99 (Pacific Highway) northwest of Eugene, and I-5 near the Springfield city line. The Delta Highway in conjunction with the Belt Line Highway provides the main route into Downtown Eugene from Santa Clara, Eugene Airport (EUG), and Junction City. The freeway also serves the Valley River Center mall area.
Opening of the Delta Highway occurred in 1966, linking the freeway with Interstate 105 from Coburg Road. Delta Highway and the Belt Line Highway were constructed by Lane County in the 1960s (Wiley, n.d.). Oregon Route 132 was designated along Delta Highway on January 23, 2020, following the transfer of maintenance of the freeway from Lane County to the state in 2019 (Delta Highway, 2023).
