Oregon Route 222 (OR 222) is an Oregon state highway, consisting of two disconnected sections.
The north section runs from OR 126 Business in Springfield to OR 58 near Pleasant Hill. Incorporating a temporary location for part of its route, the north section is 8.00 miles (12.87 km) long and runs northwest to southeast.
The south section runs from a point on Cloverdale Road north of Rodgers Road near Cloverdale, along Cloverdale Road, to OR 99 in Creswell. It is 3.16 miles (5.09 km) long and runs generally east–west.
OR 222 is known as the Springfield-Creswell Highway No. 222 (see Oregon highways and routes).
Both sections run entirely within Lane County. If connected, they would probably be considered to run north–south, as they would form the eastern half of a loop.
OR 222 was established in 2002 as part of Oregon's project to assign route numbers to highways that previously were not assigned, and, as of August 2008, was unsigned, although OR 222 route shields did appear on construction warning signs in 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words oregon and/or route:
“The Oregon [matter] and the annexation of Texas are now all- important to the security and future peace and prosperity of our union, and I hope there are a sufficient number of pure American democrats to carry into effect the annexation of Texas and [extension of] our laws over Oregon. No temporizing policy or all is lost.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
