Contents

Oregon Route 293 is an east-west highway despite having an odd number. It was not initially signed as a state highway until at least the 1990s. There is speculation that Oregon Route 293 signs were posted in error, as OR 293 has always been the internal highway number used by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). However, in 2002, ODOT revised its policy to allow for the signage of otherwise unnumbered state highways, resulting in the official establishment of Oregon Route 293.[ original research? ] It primarily serves the purpose of connecting the rural areas of Wheeler and Gilliam counties to the Bend metropolitan area. The majority of the route is situated within Wasco County, with a small portion extending into Jefferson County.

History

On October 10, 1963, there was agreement with the Oregon State Highway Commission and Wasco County to turn the Wasco County section of the Antelope Highway into a state-maintained road. The section in Jefferson County was turned into a state-maintained road on September 8, 1971. [3] In the Oregon Transportation Commission meeting on May 14, 2002, the commission approved the OR 293 designation to be placed on the Antelope Highway. [2]
