Phase 3 of work beginning
Crews are beginning the third, and final, phase of work to repair and replace the bridge decks on the structures carrying I-84 over Hood River.
Travelers should expect nighttime lane and ramp closures at Exit 63 and 64 this week as weather allows. Once preparations are complete, one lane of I-84 east will be closed around-the-clock through May 2021.

 About the project
Construction began in March 2020 to repair and replace bridge decks on the structures carrying I-84 over Hood River (between Exit 63 and Exit 64). Repairing these aging structures will increase their lifespan, allow them to continue carrying I-84 traffic safely and smooth out the ride for travelers.
This project includes:
- Replacing the bridge deck on the structure carrying eastbound I-84.
- Repairing the bridge deck on the structure carrying westbound I-84.
- Upgrading the lighting under I-84 on the slough trail.
Schedule
Construction began in March 2020 and continues through summer 2021.
Work will take place in phases to minimize impacts during the peak summer travel season.
- Phase 1: March through May 2020 (complete).
- Phase 2: September through November 2020 (complete).
- Phase 3: January through May 2021 (now underway).
In Phase 1, we rehabilitated the bridge deck on the westbound structure. In Phase 2, we reconstructed half of the bridge deck on the eastbound structure. During Phase 3, we will complete reconstruction of the eastbound bridge deck.
