Officials plan for I-84 W closure this weekend for maintenance, graffitti removal

PORTLAND, Ore. () — If you plan on taking Interstate 84 by car or by train this weekend, you might have to change course as the westbound lanes from Interstate-205 and I-5 are set to close for a number of projects.
Starting at midnight Saturday until 4 p.m. Sunday, all westbound lanes will be closed for maintenance, everything from graffiti removal to regular street maintenance.

Several agencies, including the Oregon Department of Transportation, TriMet, the Portland Bureau of Transportation and the City of Portland will be out along the highway.
David House with the Oregon Department of Transportation said this closure may cause a headache, but it's necessary.
'This is also an opportunity for ODOT crews to get to some areas that are difficult to reach safely unless you close the highway so we'll be out there too doing some various maintenance,' House said.
A big part of last year's project was graffiti removal, you might remember the endless sight of tags along the walls of the highway.
'We think it's been very successful and it's helped reduce what many travelers considered an eyesore,' House said.
KOIN 6 News also caught up with Robert Barrie, owner of Portland Graffiti Removal. He said they'll have crews along the highway taking care of what they can. He also said this year's job isn't nearly as hefty as the .
'When it gets really bad with graffiti, everybody notices,' Barrie said. 'When they have these types of closures, we can jump into those sections without having to worry about traffic and so forth.'

TriMet is also working on a project along I-84 that will impact MAX travelers. They will be shutting off power at their NE 82nd Avenue MAX line, to put in a new set of stairs to the temporary platform, which is a part of the MAX Improvement Project.
ODOT officials said while there is the potential for work to wrap up early, travelers should expect delays until 4 p.m. Sunday. They said to check TripCheck for the latest on delays and closures.

'Do Not Drive:' Ford Issues a Recall for Super Duty Trucks With Bad Brake Pedals

Ford is warning 2025 Super Duty owners not to drive their pickups. They might have a brake pedal assembly that lacks a retaining spring that's designed to secure the brake booster pushrod to the brake pedal, which can result in the loss of braking power. The recall affects just 2,345 2025 Ford Super Duty trucks, ranging from the F-250 to the F-550. The automaker began investigating the problem in late May after team members at the Kentucky Truck Plant notified Ford's Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) of a missing brake pedal retaining spring on a 2025 F-350. Photo by: Ford After that, Ford's CCRG reviewed a May 5 report of a service technician having no braking force during a pre-delivery inspection of a Super Duty, with the brake pedal 'swinging freely,' according to the Safety Recall Report . Ford then received a warranty report in early June of another F-350 with a missing spring that a tech found during its inspection. The CCRG, through its investigation, learned that an operator new to the job and still in training had built both trucks with the missing retaining spring. It also found that the camera system designed to monitor production was down during certain periods, so Ford is also recalling those vehicles without sufficient visual evidence that they were correctly built. Ford says it has already begun notifying affected owners. The automaker says it'll instruct them to work with their dealer to complete the inspection, as the automaker does not want owners driving their vehicles.

Flight Attendants Reveal the Most Impractical Travel Outfits They've Seen—and What to Wear Instead, From $13

Flight attendants have a front-row seat to every travel faux pas, especially when it comes to what people wear on planes. So, I asked two seasoned pros to weigh in on the most impractical outfits they've seen—and more importantly, what to wear instead. According to two flight attendants—Karen Young, who has 47 years of experience, and Crista Treat, who takes her airport outfits just as seriously as her vacation looks—far too many travelers still fall short. From sky-high heels and stiff business attire to bulky belts and even barefoot passengers (yes, that happens), these in-flight missteps can lead to unnecessary discomfort—or worse, a hygiene horror story. Their expert advice? Dress smart. With the right pieces, you'll feel cozy, look put together, and breeze through security with ease. Ahead, Karen and Crista share the common outfit mistakes they see on board—and what they recommend wearing instead, from stylish athleisure to foldable tote bags and cozy compression socks. Prices start at just $13. Cabin temps are notoriously unpredictable, and if you're seated by the window, prepare for a deep chill. Flight attendants unanimously agree: the biggest travel mistake they see isn't what people wear, but what they don't . "It's always cold on airplanes, particularly next to the window," Karen shared. "Layering is super important." Crista echoed that sentiment, adding that a layered outfit isn't just functional—it can actually elevate your entire look. 'Dress in layers is my biggest tip,' she says. 'A sweater dropped over your shoulders elevates any look and also gives you the ability to warm up as well.' She advises you to remember: 'You can control your temperature versus relying on the airplane for temperature.' Sure, if you're heading straight into a business meeting from the gate, that pencil skirt or blazer might make sense. But for the rest of us? 'Impractical outfits to me, are the all-nighter flights where people are in suits and ties and business attire,' Crista said. 'It's time to go to sleep.' Her go-to travel outfit is a blend of comfort and style: leggings, a cropped zip-up, and a tank underneath. And when it comes to brands? She's loyal. 'I always wear Lululemon or Vuori,' she added. Barefoot on a plane? That's a hard no—and a surprisingly common offense, according to flight attendant Karen. 'Underline this: never, never go barefoot walking around an airplane,' she warned. 'There's always broken glass. Plus, the floors—particularly in the bathroom—are filthy.' Going shoeless isn't just unsanitary; it's inconsiderate. 'I've had to tell people to put their shoes back on because other passengers were complaining that their feet stink,' she added. Instead, both Karen and Crista recommend wearing compression socks, not only for hygiene but also for circulation. Karen noted they're especially important for travelers with heart or circulation concerns, while Crista praised them as a simple in-flight wellness hack. 'They're so great for you,' she emphasized. 'I have a couple of pairs that I wear on longer flights. I also do calf raises while sitting to help with blood flow.' You won't score any points with flight crews by boarding in stilettos—especially on a red-eye. 'Wearing high heels on an all-nighter flight is just ridiculous,' Crista claimed. Not only are they impractical for dashing through terminals, but they can also be downright uncomfortable once you're in the air. 'Wear shoes with plenty of room in them—especially on long flights, because your feet can swell up,' Karen added. Swollen feet and sky-high heels? That's a recipe for in-flight misery. Instead, Crista recommends the ever-comfy Adidas Sambas. They're stylish, supportive, and easy to slip off at TSA. Keep scrolling to shop these kicks and other comfy shoes we swear by. Belts might look polished, but they're more trouble than they're worth when flying. Not only can they be uncomfortable under your seatbelt for hours, but they also tend to set off alarms at security. 'Belts always go off at security,' Crista points out, which means you'll likely end up fumbling to remove it in line or getting pulled aside for a second screening. Instead, opt for drawstring bottoms or pull-on pants that don't require a belt. They're more comfortable for long stretches in the air and will help you breeze through TSA without extra hassle. Jewelry might elevate your outfit, but wearing it through the airport isn't worth the hassle. 'I pack my jewelry in my backpack or carry-on instead of wearing it, so I don't risk setting off security,' Crista said. Beyond triggering alarms at TSA, traveling with bulky or expensive pieces can increase your chances of losing something valuable, or worse, having it stolen. A better strategy? Stow your accessories in a compact, zippered travel case so everything stays organized, secure, and easy to access once you land. When it comes to carry-on extras, flight attendants know a thing or two about practicality, and Karen swears by the iconic Longchamp tote. 'They fold up to nothing,' she explained, making them perfect to stash in your personal item until you need extra space. 'If you buy duty-free items or grab food at the airport, you can just unfold it, and it opens into a really nice bag.' According to Karen, it's practically a uniform accessory: 'Longchamp tote bags are the number one tote for most flight attendants.' She also called out another flight crew favorite: the Baggalini Carry-all Expandable Tote Bagi. Designed with plenty of compartments and thoughtful organization, 'it's very popular with all of the zippered compartments,' she noted—especially for travelers who want easy access to passports, earbuds, and other essentials mid-flight.
