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

Construction Phase

Region 5: Eastern Oregon (La Grande, Union)


​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We will repave bridge decks and approach slabs, replace joints, and rebuild roadway transition panels.​


Impacts

Traffic Impact

No traffic impacts at this time.
Beginning the week of Aug. 24, expect left lane closures and reduced speeds 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 will construct 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

Construction is scheduled to begin the week of Aug. 24. Crews will build traffic crossovers this year. Bridge repairs will take place in 2027.

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.
