There will be lane closures and flagging with up to 20-minute delays when work is occurring. There will be no traffic impacts if there is no work going on.
I-84 between Ladd Canyon and North Powder: The contractor will be finishing up EB shoulder paving this weekend and plan to transfer over to night work starting Sunday night. They plan to start on the WB slow lane first and then move to the EB slow lane. Each side should take about 6 nights to complete.

They will be finishing up the small concrete repairs in the slow lanes, two EB at approximate MP 274 and one WB at approximate MP 285, today. Lane closure in these areas will continue into next week to allow the concrete to cure before allowing traffic on them.
