THE DALLES, Ore. — I-84 has reopened in both directions at milepost 87 near The Dalles following a crash involving semi-trailer trucks. The Oregon Department of Transportation announced the closure at 11:43 pm Wednesday night.

The crash also knocked the median into the eastbound lanes, snarling traffic in that direction as well. ODOT reopened all eastbound lanes at 1:30 am Thursday morning.

Meanwhile, jackknifed and stalled semi-trailer trucks on Highway 26 have caused extreme congestion between mileposts 63 and 65, near Warm Springs Reservation. 

"Traffic is reported to be extremely congested in the area although the highway is not formally closed," the email said.
