PENDLETON — Interstate 84 eastbound reopened about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 23 after being closed for a few hours due to a crash involving semi-trucks on a snowy morning. The road was closed between mileposts 216 and 265.
According to Tom Strandberg of the Oregon Department of Transportation, the incident involved a double trailer that blocked both eastbound lanes around milepost 251.
Highway 204 also was closed in both directions between mileposts 1 and 39. The road is discouraged as an alternate route for trucks when I-84 is closed. Strandberg noted the weather also is inclement on 204, leading to the closure.
