Be Prepared For I-84 Chain Inspection
To help reduce the number of freeway closure due to trucks spinning out or crashing ODOT will perform chain inspections for eastbound traffic at the Interstate 84 Exit 224 Poverty Flat Interchange.
Several variable message reader boards near Pendleton, at the bottom of Cabbage Hill and closer to the inspection site will advise travelers of the checkpoint. Those signs will direct vehicles that are towing, or over 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight to exit the freeway for a mandatory chain inspection when chains are required in snow zones between Pendleton and La Grande.
“We have experienced a number of extended freeway closures in the past two months due to commercial trucks not chaining up when required,” said ODOT District 12 Manager Marilyn Holt.
