UPDATE: 12:45 pm I-84 is NOW opened, drive with caution!
Update from ODOT as of 11:18 am: I-84 EASTBOUND is closed between La Grande at Exit 265 and milepost 323 (19 miles east of Baker City) due to truck crashes at MP 318 and 323, 14 and 19 miles east of Baker City. The closure which began in Baker City at Exit 304 has moved to La Grande due to limited safe truck parking in Baker City. The closure could last another few hours as crews work to clean up the wreck sites and fuel spills. Use alternate routes if available, or wait until the EB freeway opens. Please be patient and expect winter conditions throughout the region. NOTE: OR245 is not a viable detour route for freeway traffic and is restricted to local traffic only.
