Oregon Route 164 is an Oregon state highway running from Interstate 5 in Marion County north of Millersburg to I-5 at Millersburg in Linn County. OR 164 is known as the Jefferson Highway No. 164 (see Oregon highways and routes). It is 8.54 miles (13.74 km) long and runs north–south, primarily functioning as a loop road to Jefferson.
OR 164 was established in 2002 as part of Oregon's project to assign route numbers to highways that previously were not assigned.
Route description

OR 164 was assigned to the Jefferson Highway in 2002.
