Work starts March 23, expect occasional traffic impacts and flagging throughout the year
March 20, 2026
If you travel on Interstate 84 between Portland and Hood River, expect intermittent shoulder, lane and ramp closures this year as part of a safety improvement project. Detours and flaggers will be in place directing traffic during construction.
Construction is expected to begin March 23 and continue through fall 2026. The project schedule is subject to change due to weather and other factors.
During construction, travelers can expect occasional shoulder, lane and/or ramp closures at interchange ramps on I-84 between downtown Portland and Hood River, including:
- Daytime and nighttime single-lane and shoulder closures at multiple interchange ramp intersections, with flaggers directing traffic.
- Traffic signals temporarily shut down at some intersections overnight, with flaggers directing traffic.
- Temporary sidewalk closures with ADA-compliant pedestrian detours.
