The project began in early 2023 and is upgrading Foothill Road from Delta Waters Road to Hillcrest Road. The $62 million improvement project was funded in part by a $15 million Federal BUILD Grant.
Once complete, the project will transform the former two-lane road into a modern corridor with four lanes, turn lanes, bike lanes, sidewalks and street lighting.
City officials say the upgrades are intended to improve safety, access and traffic flow along one of Medford’s major north-south routes.
