Eastbound lanes of Interstate 84 are expected to reopen Saturday, Oregon Department of Transportation officials said.

The department does not yet have an estimate for what time the lanes will reopen, said spokesman Don Hamilton.

The freeway closed on Sept. 4 because of the Eagle Creek fire. The westbound lanes reopened on Sept. 14.

After the eastbound lanes reopen, about a mile of the freeway will be reduced to one lane near Shellrock Mountain to provide a buffer from the danger of falling trees and fire, Hamilton said. Eastbound traffic will be diverted to westbound lanes near milepost 52 for 1.2 miles. The speed in the area will be reduced to 50 miles per hour.

Bicyclists will not be allowed on that section of the highway, Hamilton said.

Officials don't have an estimate for when eastbound lanes will reopen near milepost 52, Hamilton said.
