Westbound I-84 lane will close near Cascade Locks for repairs

May 5, 2021

One westbound lane of Interstate 84 will close around the clock for slide repairs starting Friday east of Cascade Locks.

Crews will close the right westbound lane at milepost 48 to repair an embankment adjacent to the highway damaged by a slide. This slide was one of a series of landslides during winter storms that forced occasional closures of I-84 and the Historic Columbia River Highway.

During the work, the shoulder of westbound I-84 will also be closed. A signed detour for people riding bicycles on I-84 west will be available by taking Exit 51 and following Wyeth Road into Cascade Locks.

ODOT will reduce the speed limit speed to 55 mph in the lane closure area. Travelers should plan for delays during peak travel times and go to TripCheck.com for real-time traffic conditions.

The schedule calls for completion and re-opening of the lane in June.
