PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- Drivers heading west on Interstate 84 should expect long delays after officials closed a section of the freeway near The Dalles on Friday.

The Oregon Department of Transportation expects it to be a "lengthy closure." But, right now, it is unclear what prompted the closure.
