MERIDIAN — All eastbound I-84 lanes are reopened after standing water prompted afternoon lane closures.

The lanes were closed for roughly six hours as crews cleared the water on the roadway.

The Idaho Transportation Department warns drivers that water on the roads means less traction, longer stopping distances, and a higher risk of hydroplaning, especially at higher speeds.

As rain continues throughout the valley, drivers should slow down and turn on their headlights, even during the day.
