I-84 lane closures begin in east Portland this month!
Construction continues between Interstate 205 and Hood River while crews improve Interstate 84 and extend the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail.
Travelers should expect delays and lane closures this month on I-84 between east Portland and Viento State Park (exit 56). Tips for traveling safely:
- Orange is your cue! Pay attention when you see orange signs, barrels, cones and barricades.
- Use both lanes to merge when lanes are closed.
- Obey all speed signs. Speeds are reduced in work zones for your safety and the safety of others.

Starting in mid-April
 I-84 paving and resurfacing
Paving and resurfacing begins as soon as next week on I-84 between 201st Avenue and Marine Drive (exit 17). Crews plan to work in this section of freeway first, then move to paving I-84 between I-205 and 169th Avenue later this year. Work includes resurfacing bridges and repairing bridge joints to increase the safety and life of the structures.
Travelers should expect lane and exit closures throughout the year, up to several weekend closures of I-84 near the I-205 interchange later this summer, and intersection work at NE 238th Drive later this summer or fall. Travelers can expect:
- Nighttime lane and ramp closures on I-84 between I-205 and Exit 17 in Troutdale:

- Up to several weekend and nighttime closures of I-84 west at I-205 this summer. Nighttime closures of I-84 east at I-205 this summer.
- Periodic lane closures on NE 238th Drive to reconfigure the northbound signal with two dedicated left-turn lanes onto I-84 west. Reconfiguring the signal will decrease crashes.
