I-80 (Interstate 80) Road Conditions

I-80 Road Conditions for December 11, 2025

As of December 11, 2025, Interstate 80 has multiple active long-term construction zones and several significant ramp closures. Key work areas include the Sierra Nevada corridor in California, the Sparks area of Nevada, major reconstruction segments in Wyoming and Nebraska, and interchange projects in Illinois and Indiana. Additional work zones along the Ohio Turnpike and in Pennsylvania continue to produce lane restrictions, while New Jersey’s past sinkhole closures near Wharton have transitioned to normal traffic with only short-duration maintenance or incident closures when they occur.

• California: Long-term ramp closures continue at Baxter and Yuba Gap in the Sierra corridor, along with daytime work impacting ramps at Tennessee Street in Vallejo.
• Nevada: Nightly single-lane closures are active between Vista Boulevard and USA Parkway east of Sparks for I-80 widening preparation and survey work.
• Utah: Construction near the SR-36/I-80 interchange and the Kimball Junction–US-40 corridor continues to cause intermittent lane reductions and short ramp closures.
• Wyoming: A multi-year reconstruction between Patrick Draw and Wamsutter maintains work-zone lane shifts, reduced speeds, and width restrictions.
• Nebraska: Major reconstruction projects are underway near Dawson County–Odessa, Ogallala–Roscoe, and Pleasant Dale–NW 56th Street, with lane closures and ramp work at key interchanges.
• Iowa: Interchange reconstruction at the I-80/I-35 Southwest Mixmaster and Iowa 141 continues, with overnight full closures having occurred this week and further lane/ramp restrictions scheduled on specific nights.
• Illinois: I-80 reconstruction in Will County continues with staged ramp closures and lane shifts around the Larkin Avenue and Center Street/Meadow Avenue interchanges.
• Indiana: Long-term bridge and interchange work at the US-6/State Road 51 crossing over I-80/94 in Lake Station keeps at least one ramp closed and several others reconfigured.
• Ohio: The Ohio Turnpike (I-80) has ongoing 2025 construction zones between Toledo and Youngstown, with periodic lane closures and short-duration ramp restrictions.
• Pennsylvania: Westbound daytime lane restrictions remain in place between Exits 256 and 242, and reconstruction continues on the first miles east of the Ohio line.
• New Jersey: Sinkhole-related long-term closures near Wharton (Exit 34) have ended; any lane or ramp closures today are short-term maintenance or incident-related and change frequently.

I-80 California Road Conditions

• Sierra corridor – Baxter ramps (Placer County): The I-80 on- and off-ramps at Baxter in both directions remain closed as part of the Monte Vista Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Monte Vista and Drum Forebay. Eastbound traffic destined for Baxter is detoured to continue to Drum Forebay and then return westbound on I-80 to reach Baxter.
• Sierra corridor – Yuba Gap & SR-20 ramps (Nevada County): The Yuba Gap on- and off-ramps (eastbound and westbound), along with the eastbound I-80 off-ramp to SR-20, remain closed until further notice for the Yuba Pass Separation Overhead Bridge project. Eastbound drivers headed to SR-20 or Yuba Gap are directed to exit at Eagle Lakes Road and return westbound on I-80 to access SR-20 or Yuba Gap.
• Between Monte Vista and Drum Forebay (Placer County): Around-the-clock lane and ramp closures continue on both directions of I-80 through this segment under the pavement rehabilitation project, with traffic reduced to fewer lanes and shifted within the work zone.
• Vallejo – Tennessee Street / SR-29 / I-780 interchange (Solano County): An interchange improvement project produces recurring daytime ramp lane closures. Westbound I-80 ramps serving Tennessee Street experience reduced capacity during work windows, and short ramp restrictions may also occur at the nearby SR-29 (Arkansas Street) ramps and the I-780 eastbound off-ramp to Glen Cove Road.

I-80 Nebraska Road Conditions

• Douglas & Sarpy Counties – Q Street to Giles Road (Omaha metro): A project to repair the I-80 bridge over West Papillion Creek, Eastport Parkway, and Harry Anderson Boulevard, and to widen westbound I-80 from Q Street to Giles Road, remains in its final stages. Lane closures and nighttime work continue in early December while crews complete pavement and bridge operations.
• Sarpy County – N-50 / I-80 ramp area (Omaha): Recent work repairing bridges over West Giles Road and South Papillion Creek and widening westbound I-80 from the bridges to 144th Street (N-50) has substantially completed, but minor nighttime work near the N-50 interchange continues to generate short-term lane closures.
• Dawson County Line to Odessa (Buffalo County): An 8.44-mile reconstruction between the Dawson County line and Odessa includes pavement replacement and ramp reconstruction at the Elm Creek-Holdrege interchange (Exit 257). Head-to-head traffic was removed in early November; remaining lane closures persist for pavement marking and remedial work, with project completion expected in spring 2026.
• Ogallala to Roscoe (Keith County, approx. milepost 125–133): A 7.24-mile rebuild between Ogallala and Roscoe continues, with work zones shifting traffic and imposing lane closures and width restrictions. A separate project at the Ogallala westbound rest area is underway, adding a new building and expanded parking. Overall completion is targeted for late 2026.
• Pleasant Dale to NW 56th Street (Lancaster & Seward Counties, Exit 388): Modernization work between Pleasant Dale and the NW 56th Street interchange widens I-80 to six lanes, adds median barrier, and reconstructs the on- and off-ramps at the Nebraska Highway 103/NW 154th Street/NW 56th Street interchange. Construction is in the second of three phases, with lane closures and ramp work active through this segment.
