Map

Is there anyone with enough knowledge of the Mount Hood Freeway that could create a map showing its planned path? Possibly a free version of this map.[[1]]jr98664 01:58, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Overhaul?

I think this article is due for a pretty major overhaul. It's an important element of Portland history, but it's been hard to research (largely because it all happened long enough ago that newspaper articles are not readily accessible.)

The recently-published Oregon Encyclopedia article (linked in "External Links") is very good, and will make an excellent source. But it's not comprehensive.

There's one detail that bugs me in particular: some sources (like OE) describe the freeway as extending to roughly 122nd Ave., while others talk about it extending as far as Sandy, Oregon. There's also the matter of the Mt. Hood Freeway vs. the Mt. Hood Expressway, etc. If anyone finds a source that clarifies these details, that would be a big help. -Pete (talk) 19:42, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding has been that the Mt. Hood Freeway was to extend out to 122nd or something, and that the Mt. Hood Expressway would (as a "future" project?) extend to the curve in US 26 near Sandy. Come to think of it, the Expressway portion is a bit foggy, partly because there's no evidence of condemned property. Also, I have to admit that I'm curious if TriMet's Powell Garage is located on land purchased for the project, maybe for the interchange with I-205. (Its kind of ironic because they refer to the location as "Powell & 98th", an intersection that doesn't exist, but according to old maps used to.)

Overall, I agree that the Mt. Hood Freeway is considered a notable piece of Portland history. It would be nice to get a map of the condemned property like is shown in this video. Also, there was a presentation about the project a month ago that I wished I could have gone to. Jason McHuff (talk) 08:13, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Other Remnants

There is the base of a support column that would have been used by the 1-5 southbound to the Mt. Hood Freeway (with the steel mesh exposed!) that stands at the split of the east side of the Hawthorn Bridge's viaducts. It looks like a sculpture in some ways. Is this significant enough to add? --RossO (talk) 23:57, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well do we know that a connection to the Mt. Hood Freeway is what it was supposed to be used for? But I've noticed that thing. Jason McHuff (talk) 23:39, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
