Diamond Lake Boulevard/OR 138E Design Concept Plan

The City of Roseburg and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) are planning improvements to Diamond Lake Boulevard/OR 138E to provide safer and more convenient travel options along the corridor. With new housing and future growth planned along OR 138E, ODOT and the City are taking action now to design improvements so the corridor better serves all of Roseburg’s residents and visitors, including people walking, biking, rolling and driving.

The Plan’s Purpose and Benefits

We’re creating an actionable plan to better serve the people who live, visit and travel along the OR 138E corridor. The Plan will:

Identify safety and mobility improvements for the 3.5-mile stretch of Diamond Lake Boulevard, including the highway, connecting routes and parallel roadways
Create a blueprint for planning future growth consistent with safe and reliable travel options for the corridor’s residents
Provide safe, comfortable, and accessible travel options for people who walk, bike, roll and drive along the corridor to downtown Roseburg and other areas
Improve connections to popular destinations and paths, such as the Umpqua River Trail

Project Area

The project area along Diamond Lake Boulevard/OR 138E stretches from SE Douglas Avenue east to Roseburg’s eastern urban growth boundary (UGB) near Sunshine Park.

Note: Diamond Lake Boulevard becomes North Umpqua Highway east of NE Patterson Street; both “Diamond Lake Boulevard” and “North Umpqua Highway” refer to OR 138E.
