Portion of I-84 remains closed due to flooding damage

Most of I-84 in eastern Oregon is back open after several miles of the roadway was closed early Friday morning due to severe flooding conditions.

Oregon Department of Transportation has established a detour around a major flooding area between mileposts 182 and 188.

For drivers headed eastbound on the Interstate between I-82 and Stanfield, take Exit 179 to I-82 north, head east on U.S 730 at Umatilla to U.S. 395, take U.S. 395 south through Hermiston and Stanfield to connect to I-84 EB at Exit 188.

The Westbound detour is the same, just in reverse, starting at Exit at 188

ODOT expects the section of freeway between MP 182 and 188 to remain closed for up to a week, as the area is flooded due to breached irrigation ditches adjacent to the freeway.

Other Oregon highways that are currently closed include OR237 MP 0-10 (Island City-Cove); OR11 MP 0-4.4 (Pendleton-OR331); OR 204 (Tollgate) MP 0 – 35 (Weston to Elgin); and OR244 MP 35-47 (west of Hilgard/I-84).

Closed routes will likely remain closed until Sunday morning at the earliest.
