I-80 (Interstate 80) Road Conditions

Planned construction and long-duration traffic control on I-80 today are concentrated at a few key work zones:

• Vallejo, California (Solano County) – Daytime single-lane closure on the westbound I-80 on/off-ramp at Tennessee Road, 9 a.m.–3 p.m., as part of a ramp and nearby intersection work window running from December 1–12.
• East of Sparks, Nevada – Recurring overnight single-lane closures in both directions between Vista Boulevard and USA Parkway as part of a widening-prep and survey project scheduled from early September through December 2025.
• Southwest Wyoming – Long-term construction on eastbound I-80 between roughly mileposts 141–149 (Patrick Draw to Roscoe/Wamsutter area), with ongoing milling/paving and bridge work causing reduced speeds and periodic lane closures.
• Central & Western Nebraska – Multiple long-term I-80 projects between about Gothenburg and York, including head-to-head traffic and intermittent lane closures near Lexington–Kearney and Ogallala–Roscoe, plus bridge and pavement work west of Gothenburg.
• Joliet, Illinois (Will County) – As part of the I-80 reconstruction program, the westbound I-80 exit ramp to Larkin Avenue (IL 7) is closed continuously from 10 p.m. Friday, Dec 5 through 5 a.m. Monday, Dec 8, with a posted detour via Houbolt Road and Jefferson Street. Separate weeknight closures continue for the Des Plaines River bridge area (right-lane and ramp closures around Chicago Street/Meadow Avenue) on Monday–Friday nights, not on Saturday.
• Luzerne County, Pennsylvania – Daytime lane restrictions and short-term closures on westbound I-80 between Exit 256 (Nescopeck/Conyngham) and Exit 242 (Mifflinville) for pavement grooving, scheduled for December 1–15, typically 6:30 a.m.–5 p.m.

This summary reflects planned construction and multi-day closures published by DOTs and partner agencies as of this morning. Incident-related or very short-term closures and lane closures that appear only on live 511 maps are not fully captured here; for any given trip, always verify each state’s 511 site below.

I-80 California Road Conditions

• Vallejo – Tennessee Road interchange (Solano County): From December 1–12, Caltrans is running a daytime work window, 9 a.m.–3 p.m., that includes a single-lane closure on the westbound I-80 on/off-ramp to and from Tennessee Road. Expect ramp congestion and slower movements through this interchange while crews work on associated roadway and signal/ADA improvements.
• The same work notice also covers nearby connections at SR-29 (Arkansas Street) and the I-780 eastbound off-ramp to Glen Cove Road, so drivers using I-80 in this Vallejo corridor may see related lane closures on connecting ramps.

I-80 Nevada Road Conditions

• Vista Boulevard to USA Parkway (east of Sparks): NDOT is conducting a corridor project in preparation for widening I-80. Through December 2025, this includes recurring overnight single-lane closures on both eastbound and westbound I-80 between Vista Blvd and USA Parkway, generally:
  • Westbound: about 8 p.m.–5:30 a.m.
  • Eastbound: about 7:30 p.m.–4 a.m.

  Lane closure segments can be up to roughly two miles at a time and may shift night-to-night along this stretch and through its interchanges.

I-80 Utah Road Conditions

• Tooele County – SR-36 to SR-201 (eastbound I-80): UDOT’s mobility project between the SR-36 interchange (Tooele) and the SR-201 exit is underway through summer 2026. Work adds an auxiliary lane on eastbound I-80 and upgrades intersections on SR-36. Expect:
  • Repeated night work on eastbound I-80 with lane closures, typically planned in off-peak hours (roughly evening to early morning).
  • Daytime construction activity and intermittent lane restrictions on SR-36 between I-80 and Stansbury Parkway.
• Summit County – Kimball Junction to US-40 bridges/paving: A 2025 repaving and bridge-improvement program between Kimball Junction and US-40, including bridge work at Silver Creek Junction, Parleys Summit, and Kimball Junction, has relied on night-time lane and ramp closures. Mainline paving is reported largely complete, but periodic short closures for finishing and bridge work may still occur in this corridor.

I-80 Wyoming Road Conditions

• Patrick Draw to Wamsutter (Sweetwater County): A long-term construction project is active on eastbound I-80 from about milepost 141 to milepost 149, roughly between the Patrick Draw area and Roscoe/Wamsutter. Work includes:
  • Milling and paving of the eastbound mainline.
  • Bridge rehabilitation and rest-area pavement improvements.
  • Reduced speed zones and periodic lane closures controlled by work-zone traffic control.

I-80 Nebraska Road Conditions

• Lexington–Kearney corridor (roughly milepost 252 to Exit 267 at Kearney): A long-term project has head-to-head traffic on I-80 with opposing directions sharing one side of the freeway. There is a 10-foot width restriction in effect and intermittent lane closures; work is expected to continue into April 2026.
• Ogallala–Roscoe area (approx. milepost 124 to Exit 133): Construction between east of Ogallala and Roscoe is ongoing, with head-to-head traffic and an 11-foot width limit posted. This project is associated with a multi-year reconstruction that includes new pavement, rest-area work, and upgraded lighting.
• West of Gothenburg (eastbound between mileposts ~200–203 and westbound near the Brady interchange): Bridge repair operations are in place, with right-lane closures and reduced speeds, plus width restrictions for larger vehicles.
• Additional shorter construction segments are in place between Cozad and Overton and farther east toward Aurora and York, with intermittent lane closures and occasional head-to-head traffic where work is most intense.

I-80 Iowa Road Conditions

• Southwest Mixmaster area (I-80/I-35/I-235 near Des Moines): An ongoing interchange and systems-improvement program continues to generate overnight closures of mainline I-80/I-35 and system ramps between the Southwest Mixmaster and Iowa 141. The next fully advertised overnight closures in this stretch are scheduled for Monday, Dec 8 and Wednesday, Dec 10; today’s work is limited to shorter-duration lane shifts and localized closures that are posted dynamically in Iowa 511.
• Other I-80 work zones around the Des Moines metro (including Jordan Creek Parkway and Altoona/US-65) continue to experience intermittent lane and shoulder closures as projects progress, with day-to-day details controlled through live 511 updates.

I-80 Illinois Road Conditions

• Joliet – Larkin Avenue (IL 7) exit ramp closure: As part of the I-80 reconstruction in Will County, the westbound I-80 exit ramp to Larkin Avenue (northbound/southbound IL 7) is closed continuously from 10 p.m. Friday, Dec 5 through 5 a.m. Monday, Dec 8. Traffic to Larkin Avenue is detoured via Houbolt Road and Jefferson Street; expect heavier volumes on those routes while the ramp is out of service.
• Des Plaines River bridge – Chicago Street/Meadow Avenue area (Joliet): A separate project for steel repairs on the Des Plaines River bridges continues with weeknight (Monday–Friday) right-lane closures on westbound I-80 between Chicago Street and Meadow Avenue, along with recurring overnight closures of the southbound Chicago Street ramp to westbound I-80. Those closures run roughly 9 p.m.–5 a.m. on weeknights and are expected to continue through late December 2025; they are not scheduled for Saturday night.
• Additional lane closures, ramp work, and traffic shifts are active at other interchanges between Ridge Road (Minooka) and US 30 (New Lenox) as part of the broader I-80 corridor rebuild; these change segment-by-segment and are best confirmed via IDOT’s live map.

I-80 Pennsylvania Road Conditions

• Luzerne County – Nescopeck/Conyngham to Mifflinville: PennDOT has announced lane restrictions and short-term closures on westbound I-80 between Exit 256 (Nescopeck/Conyngham) and Exit 242 (Mifflinville) from Monday, Dec 1 through Monday, Dec 15, 2025, typically 6:30 a.m.–5 p.m., to perform road surface grooving. Expect daytime lane closures and brief stoppages within this 14-mile work zone.
• Mercer County – Ohio line to around milepost 5: A three-year reconstruction project on the first five miles of I-80 inside Pennsylvania continues, with traffic pattern changes, narrowed lanes, and work-zone speed limits from the Ohio state line to about milepost 5. Depending on the day’s operations, traffic may encounter shifted alignments and active lane closures.

I-80 New Jersey Road Conditions

• Wharton area – sinkhole repair zone (Morris County, near Exit 34): The long-running sinkhole repairs that had closed portions of I-80 earlier this year are now complete. As of late June 2025, all eastbound and westbound lanes in the Wharton area were fully reopened following final overnight paving and striping; no long-term lane or ramp closures from that work remain in place today.
• Any current I-80 lane or ramp closures in New Jersey on December 6, 2025, are short-duration maintenance or incident-related events managed via the state’s live 511 system rather than multi-month construction closures.
