ODOT says the westbound ramp at Exit 356 will remain closed through October as crews pave and make safety improvements. Between Exits 353 and 356, traffic in both directions is using the right-hand lanes, and the speed limit is 50 mph.

ODOT says crews are nearing the end of the first year of a project spanning 16 miles of I-84 in both directions between Huntington and Ontario. The work includes new pavement and rebuilt connections with OR 201 at milepost 356. Completion is scheduled for October 2027.
