Crashes Close Interstate 84

Interstate 84 was shut down in both directions after a series of disruptions on Tuesday. Initially, eastbound lanes were closed due to a crash near milepost 268, while westbound lanes were shut down between Baker City and Pendleton due to a wildfire near Exit 216. As of just after 7 last evening, both directions were open again. Earlier Tuesday, I-84 eastbound was closed from Pendleton to Baker City, and OR 204 was restricted to local freight and passenger vehicles only. Travelers are advised to always stay updated and consider alternative routes if necessary when these things happen.
