Work has begun on Interstate 84 between Ladd Canyon and North Powder, between mileposts 272 and 285.
The Oregon Department of Transportation said the paving project will repair rutted and cracked pavement on a section of highway that was last paved in 2003. Paving will also be done on the bridges over I-84 at Exit 278 and Exit 283.
The contractor will begin paving intermittent sections of the left lane shoulders in both directions. Expect lane closures and reduced speeds of 55 MPH during daylight hours when work is occurring. Later in September, the contractor will work at night to reduce impacts to traffic.
The project is scheduled for completion by Nov. 1.
