BAKER COUNTY, Ore — The eastbound lanes of Interstate 84 are back open between Pendleton and Ontario, Oregon Thursday morning. 

A series of crashes near milepost 342, which is in Baker County northwest of the Huntington exit, closed the lanes Wednesday evening.

The closure stretched from Exit 265 in La Grande to Exit 374 in Ontario. The closure was later expanded to Exit 216 near Pendleton, when ODOT said Baker City and La Grande "became crowded with trucks."

Although the lanes are back open, drivers are urged to use caution and slow down amid wintery weather and icy conditions in eastern Oregon.

ODOT posts Oregon road reports online. Check that site for updates, or call 511 or 800-977-6368.
