Eastbound I-84 Reopened

The Oregon Department of Transportation reopened eastbound Interstate 84 between Cascade Locks and Hood River Wednesday morning, while the section between Troutdale and Cascade Locks reopened shortly after noon.  ODOT shut down that portion of the freeway Tuesday night after more than 20 trees fell on the roadway during high winds.  ODOT’s Don Hamilton says they needed to do the shutdown because of what they could not see at night, and the need to examine the roadway for more hazardous in daylight.  Winds yesterday evening were measured at around 70 miles per hour in the Bonneville Dam area, 60 miles per hour in the Upper Hood River Valley, and over 50 miles per hour elsewhere in the region.
