UPDATE (Friday: 11:16 a.m.) I-84 is now open between Ontario and Pendleton after being closed all day on Thursday.


A large section of Interstate-84 is closed from Ontario to Pendleton, Oregon, as winter weather has caused multiple vehicles to spin out or crash along the roadway.

The closures and lane reductions are evolving, and the best way to stay abreast of the interstate's status is via TripCheck.com.

Crews with the Oregon Department of Transportation have reported observing many semi trucks without chains.

A chain restriction is currently in place along I-84.

Officials suggest travelers wait out the closure instead of opting to find a different route via local highways.
