Project-Details

I-84: Benson Creek and Moores Hollow Interchange Bridges

Construction Phase

Region 5: Eastern Oregon (Malheur)

Repair bridges to correct damage from water and erosion. Project will extend the life of the bridges and improve safety.

Impacts

Traffic Impact

No impacts at this time. Project is on hold for the winter. Construction is expected to resume April 2024.

Construction Impacts

We anticipate the following impacts for each location.

I-84 at Exit 353/Highway 30 (Farewell Bend Exit), milepost 353: During construction, traffic will be switched to a single lane in each direction, using crossovers.

I-84 at Exit 362/Moores Hollow Road, milepost 362: During construction, traffic will be switched to a single lane in each direction. All loads over 14 feet wide will be detoured around the bridges using the on/off interchange ramps.

Schedule

Work on the project is finished for this season. Construction will resume in April 2024.

About

Image of bridge end panels. Significant erosion at these bridges requires repairs. We will replace bridge approach slabs that are in poor condition and have failed connections. (See photo to the right.)

Slope reinforcements under bridges are undermined, collapsing and soil is eroding onto the roadway under the structures due to leaking joints. We will repair or replace these damaged slopes. (See photos below.)

Repairs will be made to the eastbound and westbound interstate bridges at both locations.
