The Interstate 84 eastbound freeway is now open in eastern Oregon, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT).

OR 204 (Tollgate Highway) and OR 245 are also now open. Motorists may need to slow down and drive with extra caution around crash site near milepost 340.

Severe winter weather conditions throughout the week caused numerous accidents, many involving unchained trucks. Several vehicles also caught on fire. Both the westbound and eastbound lanes of I-84 were closed between Pendleton and La Grande for several hours Monday night and Tuesday morning, and again later in the week.

Conditions can change at any time. Ccontinue to check TripCheck.com or call 511 / 800-977-6368 for updates. Outside Oregon call 503-588-2941.
