Oregon Route 126 is a 204.63-mile-long (329.32 km) state highway that connects coastal, western, and central parts of the U.S. state of Oregon. A short freeway section of Oregon 126 in Eugene and Springfield is concurrent with Interstate 105.
A business route in the Eugene/Springfield area is also identified.
Route 126's eastern terminus is in Prineville, with its intersection with U.S. 26. Route 126 travels westward via the Ochoco Highway to Redmond, crossing U.S. Route 97. From Redmond, it continues west along the Sisters-Redmond Highway to the eastern edge of Sisters, where it merges with U.S. Route 20. The highways run co-signed through Sisters to the west end of town and the junction with Oregon Route 242, and then west through the Cascade Mountains to Santiam Junction and the eastern terminus of Oregon Route 22.
Just past Santiam Junction, U.S. Route 20 turns west at Clear Lake (Linn County, Oregon) and crosses the mountains toward the Willamette Valley. Meanwhile, Route 126 continues south along the Clear Lake-Belknap Springs Highway to Belknap Springs and the western terminus of Route 242. From that point, Route 126 veers west as the McKenzie Highway, flanking the McKenzie River for most of its length toward Springfield and Eugene.
