About
This project will install new variable message signs at two locations: on I-84 eastbound in Hood River near the Westcliff Drive underpass and U.S. 97 southbound at Biggs Junction, as well as replace an existing message board on I-84 westbound near Rufus.
The purpose of this project is to improve communication infrastructure on the state highway system throughout the I-84 corridor between Hood River and Rufus east of The Dalles. By incorporating variable message signs, ODOT can advance the safety and mobility of our roadways.

Variable message signs are traffic control devices used to provide motorist traveler information en-route. The information is most often displayed in real-time and can be controlled either from a remote centralized location or locally at the site. Traveler information displayed on variable message signs may be generated as a result of planned or unplanned event such as road construction, an accident or severe weather conditions.
