Traffic Alert | I-84 in Oregon reopens after crashes, icy roads cause hours-long closure

Much of Interstate 84 reopened at noon Thursday after being closed from six miles east of Pendleton to the Idaho border because of crashes and icy road conditions.

Parts of the highway shut down in both directions for almost six hours beginning around 6:30 a.m., according to the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT).

I-84 and Oregon Highway 204 are both open again, but drivers are being asked to take extra precautions.

ODOT said drivers should expect wintry conditions. Weather forecasts for the Pendleton, La Grande and Ontario areas show daytime high temperatures will likely remain in the 30s throughout the weekend.
