BAKER CITY, Ore. — The eastbound lanes of Interstate 84 are now open, after they were closed from Pendleton to Ontario, Oregon, due to a truck crash near Huntington, the Oregon Department of Transportation reported Friday.
The crash occurred near milepost 335, which is 11 miles west of Huntington, and blocked all lanes.
As of 3:45 p.m. Friday, ODOT reopened the eastbound lanes of I-84 and all on- and off-ramps from exit 216 near Pendleton to exit 374 in Ontario. The westbound lanes and ramps remained open.
The closure was initially in place from La Grande to Baker City, but it was expanded because of limited truck parking in those areas.
ODOT said Friday afternoon that crews are working to open one lane near the crash site.
Also, OR 245 and OR 204 (Tollgate Hwy.) are closed, except to local traffic. ODOT advises that they are not safe detours for I-84 traffic.
"Please stay in a community with services until the interstate opens," ODOT said in a news release. "Do not blindly follow detours provided by GPS navigation apps as they may not show road conditions."
Travelers should expect and be prepared for winter conditions. Continue to check road reports for Oregon and Idaho online or call 511 for updates.
