ODOT: East. Ore.: I-84 is closed both eastbound and westbound in eastern Oregon between Exit 216 (6 miles east of Pendleton) and Exit 265 (east of La Grande) due to severe weather (snow) and multiple spun-out trucks.
I-84 westbound is also closed to all traffic between Baker City at Exit 304 and La Grande Exit 265, and closed to westbound truck traffic in Ontario at Exit 374 due to limit truck parking in Baker City and La Grande. OR 204 and OR 245 are both also closed (only local freight and passenger vehicles are allowed on these routes, as they are not viable detours for freeway traffic).
Do not blindly follow GPS navigation devices/apps, many routes are impacted by the winter-like weather. Stay in a safe location until the freeway opens. The closures are expected to continue for another few hours due to the number of vehicles to be moved and limited tow trucks available to respond.
