A lane of Interstate 84 near Boardman will be closed for at least a week because a truckload going east clipped the underside of the highway overpass.

The Oregon Department of Transportation says the overpass bridge at exit 164, along with the eastbound slow lane of I-84, will remain closed for one to two weeks while workers repair the damage to the bridge.

Travelers into Boardman must use the exit 165 overpass or alternative routes.
