Oregon Route 132 is a state route that runs between OR-569 and I-105/OR-126 within Eugene. It was assigned in 2019 as a result of a jurisdictional transfer between Oregon and Lane County, under which the state assumed maintenance of the freeway portion of the Delta Highway, Lane County #1354.
History
The Delta Highway was constructed largely as a freeway by Lane County in the early 1960s between Interstate 105 (then under construction) and the Belt Line Highway, another Lane County freeway built around the same time. It was opened to traffic on October 27, 1964, alongside a section of I-105 opened from the new freeway to Coburg Road[1]. At some point prior to 1982, its interchange with Goodpasture Island Road was reconstructed.
In 2019, Lane County and the State of Oregon signed Jurisdictional Transfer #832, which turned over the Delta Highway to the state. Part of this agreement designated the highway as OR-132. The Lane County Administrator signed the agreement June 26, 2019 and state officials signed it the following month, allowing it to be brought before the Oregon Transportation Commission[2]. The transfer agreement was placed on the consent calendar of the September 18, 2019 OTC meeting, where it was approved unanimously[3]. This action also created the underlying state highway Delta Highway #132.
OR-132 remained hidden until ODOT posted a pair of route shields along the highway around October 2020[4]
