Travelers heading through the Columbia River Gorge over Labor Day weekend should expect delays on I-84 near Exit 37 between Ainsworth State Park and Bonneville Dam.
Crews continue making progress building the new eastbound McCord Creek Bridge on I-84 near Dodson. One lane in each direction remains closed as both directions of traffic share the westbound bridge over McCord Creek.
