Things are looking a little rough out there today. Obstacles range from a severe winter storm in the Northeast, to rock slides, and a big HazMat accident. Here are a few quick tips from some of our drivers.
Let us know what it looks like where you are in the comments!
DRIVER TIPS:
OREGON:
Chris: ‘I-84 from Troutdale to Hood River is closed eastbound all day due to a rock slide. Westbound is down to one lane but they are advising for all to to shut down.’ [Oregon]
There is no current timetable for opening up eastbound I-84 according to ODOT. It seems that a hill alongside I-84 gave way and spilled a huge amount of rock onto the roadway.
No resulting injuries have been reported.
