The rejection of ODOT’s $750 million INFRA grant comes at a critical time, pushing state transportation leaders to reconsider funding for the costly Rose Quarter expansion.
Opponents hope the denial of the grant will prompt ODOT and state legislators to rethink the scale of the I-5 expansion project amid ongoing revenue crises.
ODOT's Rose Quarter project, while aimed at easing congestion and revitalizing neighborhoods, raises concerns over funding and potential impacts on other state resources.
The project includes both widening I-5 and capping the freeway, but critics warn that without federal support, it could divert essential resources from other vital state projects.
