Older link but hadn't seen it mentioned.

Redevelopment of a vacant travel plaza in Huntington, OR will reduce a stretch of I-84 with no services from 74 miles to about 46.

74 miles was by far the longest such stretch of Interstate in Oregon and I imagine one of the longer ones in the country.

74 miles...isn't that the longest service-less stretch of interstate outside of Utah?

Huntington has a tiny high school which has the unique team name of Locomotives.  Having any port in a storm is good on the coast while the inland area by Huntington can be known for heavy snow blocking I-84.  That town needs to be set up for services just on general principles!

Well... Could be worse. Could be ruining the long stretches in Utah. This is still plenty long though.

Nice, I'm sure I'll make good use of the gas station/c-store if they do a good job. I frequent the new Love's near Boardman, OR when passing through as well. It will feel weird having a motel there though, it's kind of the middle of nowhere. They would have made bank if it was open before the 2017 eclipse, Huntington was a fantastic location to view it (that's where I went).
