Oregon Route 255 (OR 255) is an Oregon state highway running from U.S. Route 101 (US 101) near Gold Beach to US 101 near Brookings. OR 255 is known as the Carpenterville Highway No. 255 (see Oregon highways and routes). It is 27.60 miles (44.42 km) long and runs north–south, entirely within Curry County.
OR 255 was established in 2003 as part of Oregon's project to assign route numbers to highways that previously were not assigned, and, as of August 2008, was unsigned.
OR 255 begins at an intersection with US 101 approximately four miles south of Gold Beach and heads south 4.81 miles (7.74 km) to an intersection with US 101. It then overlaps US 101 for 1.64 miles (2.64 km). After the concurrency ends, OR 255 continues south through Carpenterville, ending at an intersection with US 101 approximately one mile north of Brookings.
OR 255 is a former section of US 101. OR 255 was assigned to the Carpenterville Highway in 2003.
The beginning milepoint for OR 255 conforms to the milepoints for US 101. Milepoints are as reported by ODOT and do not necessarily reflect current mileage. Z indicates overlapping mileage due to construction longer than established route, and – indicates negative mileage behind established beginning point. For routes traversing multiple named state highways, each milepoint is preceded by the corresponding state highway number. The entire route is in Curry County.
