Impacts

Traffic Impact

I-84:

  • Expect right (slow) lane closures between mileposts 193 and 194, around Exit 193.
  • Expect nighttime closures at the eastbound I-84 Exit 179.
    • Sunday through Thursday, starting 30 minutes after sunset and ending 30 minutes before sunrise.
  • Reduced speed to 55 mph.
I-82: 
  • Watch for lane and shoulder closures.
  • Reduced speed to 55 mph.

Schedule

​Work westbound in the closed area between milepost 193.5 and milepost 197.5 is now complete.

For the week of July 21:

I-84:

  • Crews will continue setting up eastbound right (slow) lane closures from milepost 193 to about milepost 194, around Exit 193.
    • Once the closure is fully set up, the contractor will begin removing damaged concrete.
  • For the next two weeks the contractor will be making repairs to the bridge at Exit 179 on I-84.
    • Expect nighttime closures at the eastbound I-84 Exit 179.
    • Sunday through Thursday, starting 30 minutes after sunset and ending 30 minutes before sunrise.

​I-82:

  • A second crew continues working on I-82 westbound and eastbound lanes between Umatilla and the I-82/I-84 interchange. They are removing and replacing broken portions of the concrete pavement.

​​This is a two-year project with a scheduled completion date of November 2025.

Details

About

Existing pavement was constructed in 1968 and is one of the oldest remaining original interstate sections still in service. There are intermittent locations with crumbling concrete and cracks. The asphalt shoulders are thin and in poor condition. Without replacement, maintenance cannot keep up with repairs.

Work will include the following elements.
Pavement repairs:
We will repair existing pavement and repave asphalt shoulders.
Repairs will be made on eastbound and westbound routes. Work will occur mostly in the right lanes, with some work affecting left lanes.
  • ​I-84: from the Umatilla River crossing at milepost 188 to the Barnhart Interchange near milepost 204.
  • I-82: from the Oregon/Washington state line at milepost 0.0 to the I-84 Interchange at milepost 11.
Bridge repairs:
Work includes repairing bridge decks and approaches, concrete rails and bridge joints.
  • I-84: from the I-82 Interchange at milepost 179 to the Nolin Grade Road overpass at milepost 195.
Guardrail repairs:
We will upgrade guardrail on I-84, between mileposts 179 and 204.

What Problem Will This Improve?

​Current issues include:

    Image of repaired punchout.
  1. ​Large cracks, punchouts, and failing construction joints need to be repaired in many locations. A punchout is the separation of a block of concrete from the rest of the slab. See image.​
  2. Road shoulders are also in poor condition and wide cracks allow weeds to grow.
  3. Significant ruts in travel lanes, associated with wear from studded tires, poses a potential safety risk during rain.
