Lane closures begin next week on I-84 between Exit 353 and 356 for paving work

March 13, 2026

HUNTINGTON – Travelers should prepare for delays and reduced speeds on Interstate 84 between Exit 353 and Exit 356 as the interstate will be reduced to one lane in both directions starting March 20. 

Westbound traffic will shift to the eastbound lanes, with one lane open in each direction into the summer. This temporary configuration allows crews to complete paving and other work on the westbound lanes.

Construction schedules may change due to weather or other factors.


About the project

As part of a major roadway improvement project between Huntington and Ontario, we are repaving 16 miles of I-84 in both directions and rebuilding the road connections near the Olds Ferry Interchange at Exit 356. The project also includes an upgrade to the weigh‑in‑motion system at the Farewell Bend Port of Entry to help trucks move through more efficiently.

Additional improvements include:

  • New lights at westbound chain‑up areas.
  • New variable message signs.
  • Guardrail upgrades.

This work will extend the life of the highway, reduce maintenance needs, and improve safety for all travelers.

Other traffic impacts

This is a two-year project with a scheduled completion in October 2027.

Drivers can expect reduced speeds and ongoing single‑lane and shoulder closures on I‑84 in both directions between Huntington and Ontario during construction. Various I‑84 ramps will also close temporarily as work progresses. Please slow down in work zones and plan for short delays.
