1988 - Present US 30 Alignment (Light Blue) on NW Yeon to I-405 (v.007)Google Maps
"The construction of NW Yeon Avenue in 1930 provided improved access and facilitated the increasingly important role of trucking as an industrial transportation mode. Following World War II, large-scale industrial businesses expanded in the Guild’s Lake area, particularly in the northern sections, where chemical and petroleum processing and storage facilities located. An agglomeration of metals manufacturing and processing companies emerged as an important component of the local economy. Today, industrial operations in the Guild’s Lake Industrial Sanctuary include manufacturing, fabrication and processing, warehousing, transportation and industrial services."

"In 1988, U.S. 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 Interstate 505. The proposed interstate was intended to be a 1.44-mile (2.32 km) freeway spur in northwest Portland that would have connected I-405 to St. Helens Road, the latter being the original route for U.S. 30. The freeway was canceled in 1979 after plans were withdrawn, as it would have required condemnation and rerouting streets on a swath of land through the Northwest Industrial neighborhood."
