PENDLETON – (News release from Oregon Department of Transportation) On Tuesday, June 10 travelers on westbound Interstate 84 east of Pendleton should expect delays of up to 15 minutes. Crews will be striping the highway to improve visibility and safety.
Rolling slowdowns will take place in the westbound lanes from 10 a.m. to noon, starting near milepost 238, at the Meacham Interchange.
During a rolling slowdown, traffic control vehicles hold traffic to a slow but steady pace to give crews time to stripe the highway and the paint to dry. This helps keep crews safe while avoiding lengthy road closures. Emergency vehicles will be allowed through as needed.
If you’re driving through the area, plan for delays and allow extra travel time. Be cautious of wet paint and avoid driving over freshly painted lines. Give paint trucks plenty of room to operate safely and avoid spray.
