Interchange with US 20/OR 126?

"Beyond the eponymous town of Detroit on the east end of the reservoir, the highway passes Idanha, and turns south, west of Mount Jefferson, to its terminus at an interchange with U.S. Route 20 and Oregon Route 126 at Santiam Junction."

According to the google.com satellite picture and map, the junction is a simple surface Y-intersection, not an "interchange" with flyovers and the like. Westbound traffic coming from Santiam Pass goes straight onto OR 22; traffic heading to Albany or Eugene must stop (or at least yield) and make a left turn. Eastbound traffic from Salem on OR 22 does not stop, while traffic from Albany and Eugene finds itself in the slow (right) lane (again without stopping) as it begins its climb toward the Santiam Pass summit. 192.235.1.34 18:37, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Corrections to junction list

Capitol Manor is just an old folks home and housing development, not a settlement. It probably doesn't need to be linked at all, as it's not particularly notable.
Little Nestucca refers to the river, again, not a settlement.
Clear Lake should link to Clear Lake (Linn County, Oregon)

Western section name / History

For several generations the portion of Hwy 22 between Hebo and Valley Junction was known as "The Sourgrass". That's the name it was known by to my grandparents back before WWI, and possibly by one great-grandfather, though I no longer have access to copies of their diaries. This name was used by friends in Salem in the 1950s and 1960s as well as by everyone in south and central Tillamook County. Many people in those parts of TIllamook County still use that original name. If for no other reason there ought to be a "History" section, which should include who made the decision to change the highway name from something relevant and colorful to the very unimaginative "Three Rivers Highway".

@Dismalscholar: You'll need an actual source for this name and to start a History section. Three Rivers Highway is the assigned name from ODOT and thus appears in a lot of documentation. Sounder Bruce 02:28, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
