MISSION โ€“ The Oregon Department of Transportation has reduced the speed limits in the area of Wildhorse Resort & Casino. Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation Public Affairs Specialist Chris Aadland says slowing down is a wise move along Market Road.

โ€œSouth of Mission Road to milepost 3 as youโ€™re kind of coming over the crest of the hill has been reduced to 40 miles an hour,โ€ he said. โ€œAnd then, from there to Wildhorse Boulevard up by the casino itโ€™s been reduced to 35 miles an hour.โ€

Aadland said it remains at 35 mph past the casino and Arrowhead Travel Plaza and across the interchange with Interstate 84.

โ€œIt goes back up to 55 on South Market Road,โ€ he said. โ€œThere are no changes on North Mission Road until it you cross the railroad tracks when it goes up to 55.โ€
