I-84: Bridges over North Spruce Street (La Grande)

Construction Phase

Region 5: Eastern Oregon (La Grande, Union)


​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We are repaving bridge decks and approach slabs, replacing joints, and rebuilding roadway transition panels.​


Impacts

Traffic Impact

Left lane and shoulder closures, reduced speeds to 55 mph between Exit 259 at Oro Dell and the OR 82 overpass.​

Construction Impacts

​To prepare for and safely accommodate work on the bridge in 2027, we are constructing crossovers in 2026.
  • Crossovers reduce traffic to a single lane in each direction by shifting traffic from one side of a divided road to the other side that is not under construction.
  • Crossovers protect workers from live traffic, reduce conflicts by giving workers more room and require fewer setups and removals of traffic control devices during construction.

Schedule

​For the week of Oct. 19:
Crews will install rock along the crossover shoulders and begin installing guardrail. Crossover construction and site preparation are scheduled to be completed October 2026.

Bridge repairs will take place in 2027.

​Crews have completed work around milepost 258​​. They replaced damaged median barrier and repaired existing bridge rail.​

About

Map of project area.We will repair two bridges on I-84 over Spruce Street in La Grande. We will repair deck surfaces and bridge approaches (the transitions between the road and bridge) that are in poor condition and have failed connections. We will install new joints and rebuild transitions from the road to the bridge. These repairs will extend the life of the structures and provide a smooth and safer ride.
