Weekend detour will delay eastbound I-84 traffic between Cole, Broadway interchanges
The detour will begin at 10 p.m. Friday (March 4) and end at
5 a.m. Monday (March 7).
During the detour, eastbound traffic must exit early to
access the Orchard, Vista or Broadway ramps. Eastbound through traffic will not
have access to the ramps.
A detour route to each interchange will begin after the
Cole/Overland Interchange.
"Local travelers might benefit by finding a route around eastbound I-84 between
Cole and Broadway," said ITD Project Engineer Dana Weiss. "If you use the
interstate to access Orchard, Vista or Broadway, remember to keep right near
Cole/Overland instead of waiting until you get closer to these exits. Missing
the detour route could add 15-20 minutes to a typical trip."
The speed limit will be 55 mph for eastbound through traffic
and 35 mph for the detour route. Both routes may be reduced to one lane. Expect
some delays.
Flaggers will direct detour traffic off and back onto
eastbound I-84 at the Orchard and Broadway interchanges.

Broadway will share the 35 mph detour lane.
All work is weather dependent.
The old eastbound lanes will be reconstructed over the
spring and summer. Motorists can expect ongoing traffic changes and lane
restrictions in March.
When the project is complete this summer, I-84 will be eight
lanes wide between the Cole and Broadway interchanges.

project.
