[edit] Route description

OR 223 begins, at its southern terminus, at an intersection with U.S. Route 20 in Wren (a town northwest of the city of Philomath. It continues north from there, through the western edge of the Willamette Valley. In the town of Bridgeport, it intersects with OR 194. The only major city on the route is Dallas, Oregon; north of Dallas, it ends at an intersection with OR 22.

A spur route (signed as Oregon Route 223 Spur) runs from Dallas east, to an interchange with OR 22 and OR 99W in Rickreall. The spur is a former OR 22 routing.
