The freeway is closed due to a crash that is blocking both WESTBOUND travel lanes and/or a weather event that is making travel extremely hazardous (slick roads, heavy fog, smoke, etc.). The TripCheck alert
may identify information regarding reason for closure and/or location of crash. Closures due to weather events are put in place to help protect the safety of travelers. The freeway will be open when it is deemed safe for travel.

Why is part of the freeway only open to passenger vehicles, but not trucks?
The WESTBOUND freeway is closed at Exit 265 in La Grande to all
traffic due to crash or extreme weather conditions between La Grande and
Pendleton. Because the Westbound freeway closure has continued for several hours
(extended closure) truck traffic stranded in La Grande has filled the truck
stop and adjacent highway shoulders. Due to limited truck parking space there is
no more room for trucks to safely park in this community. The Westbound freeway
between Baker City and La Grande will remain closed to commercial trucks until
the freeway is open between La Grande and Pendleton and backed up traffic has
cleared out of La Grande.
