location. The posted speed on Highway 99 ranges from 25 to 45 m ph. Within Medford, the m ajority of
Highway 99 is a one-way couplet. The northbound c ouplet roadway is Riverside Avenue and the
southbound couplet roadway is Centra l Avenue/Court Street. The highway is also referred to as the
Rogue Valley Highway . Between Barnett Road a nd the Highway 238/Highway 62 intersection (the Big
X), m aintenance and operations responsibiliti es for Highway 99 rest with the City .
Highway 62 (Crater Lake Highway ) is classified as a Statewide Expressway , serving north-south access
through Medford, linking the city with destinati ons to the north and east. The Highway 62/I-5
interchange area is a critical connection for the corridor.
Highway 238 (Jacksonville Highway ) is classified as a district highway and serves east-west traffic
between Medford and Jacksonville to the west. ODOT recently com pleted construction of a new
alignm ent for Highway 238 north of downtown Medford. This highway runs fro m Highway 62 west of I-
5 on a new alignm ent through the form er Medco Mill site and connects to Rossanley Drive at Sage Road.
When funding becom es available, Rossanley Drive and Hanley Road (from Rossanley to Highway 238)
will be im proved to highway standards by widening existing shoulders. The new alignm ent provides a
more direct connection to the existing Highway 238 alignm ent between Medford and Jacksonville
avoiding the downtown core area that was bisected by the old alignm ent. The previous alignm ent through
Medford and west to the intersection at Hanley Road has reverted to City and County ownership.

was m ade to transfer all non “local access” roads to the City over the next 12 y ears.
