Friday, Nov. 13, through Sunday, Nov. 22, 2026
Interstate 84 at Pendleton is still the main slowdown in the region, with single-lane closures and a 55 mph work zone near the Rieth Road and Southgate interchanges while crews build crossovers. Farther east, the I-84 paving project between Huntington and Farewell Bend is shutting down for the winter, and the westbound Exit 356 ramp closure and 16-foot width limit there are no longer listed. Elsewhere, drivers will mostly find small concrete and curb ramp work zones on state highways in La Grande, Elgin, Wallowa, Halfway and Richland.
Interstate 84
Pendleton: Rieth Road and Southgate interchanges, mileposts 207 to 210
I-84 near Pendleton has shoulder and single-lane closures in both directions between milepost 207 and milepost 210, at the Rieth Road and Southgate (US 395) interchanges, with a speed reduction through the work zone for crossover construction and possible paving, according to ODOT TripCheck. ODOT lists the delay as under 20 minutes. The Rieth Interchange and Umatilla River Bridges project page sets the speed limit at 55 mph and says daytime crossover construction continues through the week of Nov. 9. The crossovers prepare for repairs to four bridges at mileposts 208 and 209, which are scheduled for 2027. An end date for this year's lane closures is not posted. Ongoing.
Huntington to Farewell Bend: paving, mileposts 347 to 368
I-84 from about a mile east of Huntington to milepost 368 is still listed on TripCheck with single-lane and ramp closures in both directions and possible crossover traffic for daytime paving and striping, delays under 20 minutes. That entry was last updated Nov. 7. The Farewell Bend to North Fork Jacobsen Gulch project page, updated Nov. 10, says crews are finishing electrical work and final tasks before the winter shutdown and that work was expected to end by Wednesday, Nov. 11, with possible daytime lane and shoulder closures for the next couple of weeks. The project repaves 16 miles from the Baker and Malheur county line at milepost 352 east and is listed in ODOT's June 2026 project schedule for completion in October 2027. The Malheur County part of this stretch is on Mountain time.
Done: the westbound Exit 356 off-ramp to OR 201 closure and the 16-foot width limit between mileposts 351 and 356, both due to end Nov. 9, no longer appear on TripCheck. The westbound single-lane closures at milepost 374 west of Ontario and the shoulder closures at the North Spruce Street bridges in La Grande are no longer listed either.
