Truckers should prepare for delays on Interstate 84 in Oregon at the McCord Creek Bridge as the interstate reduces to one lane in both directions starting Monday, March 2.

The McCord Creek Bridge is located near Warrendale, about 7 miles west of Cascade Locks, and 42 miles east of Portland. The bridge replacement project will eliminate a dip in the highway and improve safety, and increase earthquake resilience and the lifespan of the highway. Construction will continue into the fall of this year.

Both directions of traffic will share the westbound bridge for at least four months during work on the eastbound structure. 

What I-84 travelers can expect

  • Eastbound traffic will share the westbound bridge with one lane open in each direction until summer 2026
  • Around-the-clock single lane and shoulder closures on I-84 eastbound and westbound will continue at McCord Creek until fall 2026
  • The NE Frontage Road on-ramp to eastbound I-84 at the Elowah Falls Trailhead parking lot remains closed during construction. Travelers accessing eastbound I-84 from NE Frontage Road must detour to the on-ramps at Ainsworth State Park  at Exit 35
