stating that US 30 was meant to serve local traffic and could be improved to a four-lane highway instead. A project to widen US 30 near Scappoose and Warren in the 1970s was delayed by a decade due to disagreements between the state and local governments over its routing and an attempt to build a full bypass. The highway remained slightly more accident-prone than others in Oregon; from 1987 to 1992, a total of 22 crashes on of US 30 in Columbia County resulted in 26 deaths and 769 injuries. In 1988, US 30 was realigned along NW Yeon Avenue in Portland to alleviate residential congestion. The new route utilized an interchange with I-405 that was intended for a proposed I-505. The proposed Interstate was intended to be a freeway spur in northwest Portland that would have connected I-405 to St. Helens Road, the latter being the original route for US 30. Funding for the freeway was withdrawn by the city government in November 1978, as it would have required condemnation and rerouting streets on a swath of land through the Northwest Industrial neighborhood. The federal government formally approved the project's cancellation in December 1979 and reallocated funds to other transportation improvements in the area. In the 2010s, the city of Scappoose proposed the construction of a bypass to carry US 30 around the city. A similar proposal was defeated in 1971 following protests from residents over its disruption to future potential development. The $5.5 million allocation for the bypass project was redistributed by the state to improve other sections of US 30 in Columbia County.
