UPDATE 4p: I-84 near Declo is open again after 5 tractor-trailers crashed Tuesday morning.

————

Earlier story:

A multi-vehicle crash on a bridge over the Snake River in south-central Idaho resulted in no injuries but closed both the eastbound and westbound lanes of Interstate 84 on Tuesday.

The Idaho State Police say five tractor-trailers and one passenger pickup traveling east crashed at about 11:40 a.m. about 4 miles east of Heyburn.

Traffic is being diverted between mileposts 211 and 216, the Heyburn and Declo exits while crews work to clear the scene. Idaho State Police say the westbound lanes at the bridge have been closed to assist with that work.

Authorities on Tuesday afternoon didn’t have an estimate on when that portion of Interstate 84 might reopen. It’s also not yet clear if the bridge sustained damage.
