I-80 (Interstate 80) Road Conditions

I-80 Road Conditions for November 21, 2025

Based on state DOT and 511 construction bulletins current through late November 2025, Interstate 80 remains open end-to-end today. However, the following long-term construction zones and ramp closures are in effect along the route:

• California: Ramp closures at Baxter and at Yuba Gap / SR 20 in the Sierra, plus intermittent closures of the SR 20 ramp to westbound I-80.
• Nevada: Nightly single-lane closures between Vista Boulevard (Exit 21) and USA Parkway / SR 439 (Exit 32) east of Sparks.
• Wyoming: Eastbound left-lane closure near milepost 5.9 by Evanston; work zones and intermittent ramp closures around the Green River tunnels (MP 88–91); long-term paving and bridge work between Patrick Draw and Wamsutter (MP 141–149).
• Nebraska: Westbound I-80 through Omaha/La Vista from the US-275 connection to Exit 442 (Giles Road/Harrison Street) reduced to two lanes with width and speed restrictions.
• Iowa: Recent overnight closures between Grand Prairie Parkway (Exit 118) and the I-35/I-235 interchange have concluded; I-80 is open here without long-term closures from that project.
• Illinois: Two ramps remain closed at the I-55/I-80 interchange near Joliet, plus nighttime lane closures on the Des Plaines River bridge and a 12-mile reconstruction zone in Will County.
• Indiana: No long-term I-80/I-90 lane or ramp closures are listed in current statewide notices; the Toll Road remains fully open with routine maintenance posted on 511.
• Ohio: The SR 88 bridge over I-80 in Freedom Township (Portage County) is closed for replacement, affecting local access but not mainline I-80.
• Pennsylvania: Shoulder and work-zone restrictions near Route 318 in Mercer County and a long-term ramp closure from PA 940 to I-80 eastbound at Exit 273 (Lehigh River Bridge project).
• New Jersey: The I-80 westbound Exit 30 ramp to Howard Boulevard/Mount Arlington is closed today with traffic detoured via Exit 27A and Route 206.

I-80 California Road Conditions

• Baxter ramps (Placer County): The I-80 on- and off-ramps at Baxter remain closed for a pavement rehabilitation project between the Monte Vista and Drum Forebay interchanges. Traffic that would normally exit at Baxter must continue to Drum Forebay, exit there, and return westbound to reach Baxter.
• Yuba Gap and SR 20 ramps (Nevada County): The I-80 on- and off-ramps at Yuba Gap, along with the eastbound I-80 off-ramp to State Route 20, remain closed for bridge work at the Yuba Pass Separation overhead. Detours send traffic east on I-80 to Eagle Lakes Road, where drivers can loop back westbound to reach SR 20 or Yuba Gap.
• SR 20 to westbound I-80: The ramp from SR 20 to westbound I-80 continues to see intermittent closures for the same bridge project; when closed, drivers are directed east on I-80 to Eagle Lakes Road and then back westbound.

I-80 Nevada Road Conditions

• Vista Boulevard (Exit 21) to USA Parkway/SR 439 (Exit 32): Nightly single-lane closures continue in both directions on this stretch east of Sparks for ongoing geotechnical and maintenance work. Typical November schedules reduce westbound lanes roughly 8:00 p.m.–5:30 a.m. and eastbound lanes 7:30 p.m.–4:00 a.m., with work zones shifting within this segment and occasionally affecting the Vista Boulevard and USA Parkway ramps.

I-80 Utah Road Conditions

• Utah mainline: Static UDOT bulletins reviewed for late November 2025 do not list any specific long-term I-80 lane or ramp closures for today. Both directions of I-80 remain generally open, with any short-term maintenance or night work (including in Parleys Canyon and the Salt Lake Valley) posted on the live 511 map.

I-80 Wyoming Road Conditions

• Evanston area – milepost 5.9 eastbound: A long-term construction project keeps the left lane of I-80 eastbound closed near MP 5.9 by Evanston through early December 2025. Traffic merges to the right lane through the work zone.
• Green River tunnels – mileposts 88–91: Ongoing construction near the Green River tunnels includes intermittent closures of the eastbound on-ramp around MP 89, reduced speed limits through the tunnels, and width restrictions for large vehicles.
• Patrick Draw to Wamsutter – mileposts 141–149: Milling, paving, and bridge rehabilitation continue between Patrick Draw and Wamsutter. I-80 remains open but is controlled by work-zone traffic devices, lower speed limits, and possible delays across this 8-mile section.

I-80 Nebraska Road Conditions

• Omaha/La Vista – US-275 to Exit 442 (Giles Road/Harrison Street): On I-80 westbound, a major construction zone between the US-275 connection and Exit 442 continues to restrict traffic to two lanes. A 12-foot width limit and a posted 55 mph work-zone speed limit remain in place, so oversize loads must confirm routing before entering this segment.
• Other Nebraska segments: No additional long-term I-80 closures are listed in the statewide construction and detour report reviewed; incident-driven lane closures and short-term work are shown on the Nebraska 511 map.

I-80 Iowa Road Conditions

• West Des Moines – Grand Prairie Parkway (Exit 118) to I-35/I-235 “Southwest Mixmaster”: A series of three overnight full closures of eastbound I-80 for grading and paving between Grand Prairie Parkway and the I-35/I-235 interchange concluded earlier this week. As of today there are no additional full closures for this project listed in the static Iowa DOT notice; I-80 remains open through this area.
• Statewide: No other long-term I-80 lane or ramp closures dated for late November 2025 were identified in static bulletins; any new or short-duration work zones appear on the live 511 map.

I-80 Illinois Road Conditions

• I-55/I-80 interchange (Joliet, Will County): Two ramps remain in long-term closure for interchange reconstruction:
  • Southbound I-55 to eastbound I-80 ramp – closed, with traffic following posted detours to join eastbound I-80.
  • Northbound I-55 to westbound I-80 ramp – closed, with marked detours guiding drivers to westbound I-80.
• Des Plaines River bridge (Joliet): Nighttime lane closures continue on I-80 over the Des Plaines River for bridge repair. At least one lane in each direction may be closed overnight, causing localized slowdowns near the bridge.
• Will County mainline reconstruction – Ridge Road to Wheeler Avenue: Approximately 12 miles of I-80 are under reconstruction here. Two lanes remain open in each direction, but lanes are narrowed and shoulders are closed throughout the work zone.

I-80 Indiana Road Conditions

• Indiana Toll Road (I-80/I-90): Current statewide notices do not list any major long-term lane or ramp closures on the I-80/I-90 Toll Road.

I-80 Ohio Road Conditions

• Freedom Township, Portage County – SR 88 bridge over I-80 (Ohio Turnpike): A bridge replacement project has SR 88 closed at its crossing over the Ohio Turnpike. Local traffic is detoured via SR 303, SR 700, and SR 82. The I-80 mainline remains open beneath the bridge, but there is no direct access between SR 88 and the Turnpike at this location.

I-80 Pennsylvania Road Conditions

• Mercer County – Ohio line to mile marker 5: A multi-year reconstruction project near the Ohio state line has temporarily returned eastbound and westbound traffic to a more normal lane configuration for winter, but the left shoulder remains closed near the I-80 bridges over Route 318 in Shenango Township, and off-pavement construction activity continues.
• Exit 273 – PA 940 (White Haven area), Lehigh River Bridge project: The PA 940 on-ramp to I-80 eastbound at Exit 273 remains closed for Lehigh River bridge replacement work, with the closure extended through the end of December 2025. Signed local detours guide traffic onto I-80 eastbound.
