PENDLETON, Ore. — Crews have reopened both directions of Interstate 84 in eastern Oregon after a number of truck crashes blocked lanes on Cabbage Hill east of Pendleton.

I-84 had been shut down Thursday morning between Exit 216 east of Pendleton and Exit 265 east of La Grande because of the crashes and snowy, icy conditions.

The Oregon Department of Transportation announced at 11:05 a.m. MT that lanes in both directions have reopened. 

Oregon Route 245 and Oregon Route 204 -- the Tollgate Highway -- have also reopened.
