• Utah: Construction between SR-36 and SR-201 and between Kimball Junction and US-40 brings repeated nighttime lane and ramp closures.
• Wyoming: Long-term work between Patrick Draw and Wamsutter (around mileposts 141–149) narrows lanes and shifts traffic.
• Nebraska: Multiple reconstruction segments, including Ogallala–Roscoe and central Nebraska near Lexington–Kearney, use head-to-head traffic, lane closures, and width restrictions.
• Iowa: Southwest Mixmaster reconstruction between the I-80/I-35/I-235 interchange and Iowa 141 continues, with overnight full closures scheduled on December 8 and 10 plus other lane and ramp closures managed via 511.
