I-84 Reopens Between Baker City and Ontario Following Wildfire Closure

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) announced early this morning that I-84 is back open to traffic between Baker City and Ontario. The highway had been closed in both directions due to active wildfire activity in the corridor, which created hazardous conditions by damaging local power lines and poles.

While the road is now open, travelers are still advised to exercise caution and remain vigilant as fire crews continue to monitor the area.
