ODOT Says I-84 Closure To Remain In Place Until Storm Passes

Posted on by mbailey

The Oregon Department of Transportation says there is no re-opening in sight for Interstate 84 from Troutdale to Hood River until the current storm runs its course.

ODOT says it will open the freeway when it’s safe, but the storm is expected to last into Saturday. 

A dangerous combination of snow, ice and high wind has created conditions unsafe for even the most experienced travelers, and the dangers reach way beyond the Gorge. 

Many routes across the northwest are feeling the impact of the storm and have seen closures in the last 24 hours.

Tripcheck.com is up-to-date with all current closures and traffic impacts around Oregon.

Truck parking is quickly filling along I-84 in Hood River, The Dalles, and Biggs Junction.

ODOT is encouraging drivers to delay their trip or wait out the closure from their current location and not continue on to the hard closure points. Parking on the interstate is not an option once designated lots are full. Blocking lanes of travel creates a hazard and strands people in areas with no services. 

ODOT says its crews are working around the clock tending to the roads, but there is no single tool that can defeat the challenge presented by ice. 

ODOT is encouraging everyone to delay travel until the storm is over.
