I-80 (Interstate 80) Road Conditions

I-80 Road Conditions for March 14, 2026

I-80 is mostly passable coast to coast today, but there are a few specific problem areas and active work zones worth watching. The most immediate operational issue is in Wyoming, where eastbound I-80 has road damage with the right lane blocked between Elk Mountain and Arlington at milepost 246, and the Wagonhound Rest Area near Arlington remains closed. In Nevada, the main active construction zone is in west Reno between West McCarran Boulevard and Keystone Avenue, where lanes are shifted, speeds are reduced, and overnight ramp closures remain part of the project. In Ohio and western Pennsylvania, drivers should expect work-zone delays near the Ohio-Pennsylvania line because of lane restrictions tied to a pavement replacement/reconstruction effort. In New Jersey, the most specific near-term I-80 item posted is the Route 206 northbound connection from I-80 westbound at Exit 25 in Mount Olive, which was announced for closure and detour work this week, with additional shoulder-closure roadwork scheduled on I-80 in Denville, Fairfield, Montville, and Parsippany-Troy Hills. Illinois remains the largest long-corridor construction zone, with the I-80 rebuild continuing through Minooka, Channahon, Shorewood, Joliet, Rockdale, and New Lenox, including interchange and bridge work. California has no closure bulletin posted on I-80 today in the public highway-condition report, but westbound trucks are required to stop at the brake check area just west of Nyack.

• Wyoming: Eastbound right lane blocked for road damage between Elk Mountain and Arlington at milepost 246; Wagonhound Rest Area closed near Arlington at milepost 267.
• Nevada: Ongoing west Reno construction from West McCarran Boulevard to Keystone Avenue with 24/7 lane shifts, reduced speeds, overnight lane reductions, and intermittent overnight ramp closures at West McCarran Boulevard and Keystone Avenue.
• Ohio / Pennsylvania line: Lane restrictions remain in the Hubbard / West Middlesex area tied to pavement replacement and reconstruction work.
• New Jersey: Specific ramp-related work posted this week at I-80 westbound Exit 25 to Route 206 northbound in Mount Olive; moving shoulder operations are also posted in Morris and Essex counties on upcoming dates.
• Illinois: Major long-term reconstruction continues along the Joliet-area corridor from Ridge Road to U.S. 30, with bridge and interchange work at I-55, Chicago Street, Center Street, Richards Street, and Briggs Street.
• California: No closure bulletin posted on the public highway report today; westbound trucks must stop at the brake check area west of Nyack.

California I-80 Road Conditions

California’s public highway condition report shows no traffic restrictions today on I-80 in the San Francisco Bay Area / Solano County segment and no traffic restrictions on Business 80. The one posted operational item is in the Northern California / Sierra Nevada segment: all westbound trucks must stop at the brake check area 0.5 mile west of Nyack in Placer County.

Nevada I-80 Road Conditions

The most clearly posted I-80 construction zone in Nevada is the west Reno improvement project between West McCarran Boulevard and Keystone Avenue. Current traffic impacts include 24/7 lane shifts, a 55 mph work-zone speed, and overnight lane reductions to a minimum of one lane between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. on weekdays. The project also calls for intermittent overnight ramp closures on the West McCarran Boulevard ramps to I-80 and the Keystone Avenue ramps to I-80 between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., Sunday nights through Friday mornings. Nearby McCarran Boulevard and Keystone Avenue also see overnight lane reductions.

Utah I-80 Road Conditions

I did not find a specific same-day I-80 ramp-closure or lane-closure bulletin in the accessible UDOT public text reports for today. The public UDOT traffic system is the right live source to check for any fresh closures that may appear later in the day. For longer-range work, UDOT’s Wasatch Back project pages indicate upcoming I-80 bridge and interchange work in the corridor.

Wyoming I-80 Road Conditions

Wyoming has the most concrete active issue on I-80 today. In District 1, eastbound I-80 between Elk Mountain and Arlington at milepost 246 has road damage with the right lane blocked, and traffic is being told to proceed with caution. Also posted on the route today: the Wagonhound Rest Area is closed until further notice near Arlington at milepost 267.

Nebraska I-80 Road Conditions

Nebraska 511 did not surface an active I-80 event list item in the public list view I checked today, and the statewide list page returned no data found for the accessible event view. I do not want to invent closures or construction items that were not explicitly posted in the public feed I could verify. At minimum

Iowa I-80 Road Conditions

Iowa had a cluster of recent I-80 work notices, but the most specific items around today are timing-related. The southbound I-35 / westbound I-80 closures between the Southwest Mixmaster and Iowa 141 were scheduled for overnight work through early morning March 14 as crews shifted traffic and worked on pavement and the U.S. 6 / Hickman Road bridge area. The next specifically named I-80 ramp closure is not today but is close: the eastbound I-80 on-ramp at Middle Road (Exit 301) in Bettendorf is scheduled to close Monday, March 16 for new eastbound bridge/ramp work. I did not find a separate statewide Iowa 511 bulletin naming an additional daytime March 14 I-80 ramp closure beyond those posted notices.

Illinois I-80 Road Conditions

Illinois remains an active long-corridor work zone on I-80. IDOT’s current I-80 rebuild covers roughly 16 miles from Ridge Road to U.S. 30 through Minooka, Channahon, Shorewood, Rockdale, Joliet, and New Lenox. The corridor work includes major bridge and interchange activity at I-55, Illinois 7 / Larkin Avenue, Center Street, Chicago Street (U.S. 52 / Illinois 53), Richards Street, and Briggs Street. A current March notice says Chicago Street interchange work was scheduled to begin the week of March 2. .

Indiana I-80 Road Conditions

For Indiana, I did not find a same-day March 14 public bulletin naming a specific I-80 or I-80/94 ramp closure in the accessible INDOT pages I checked. The larger Northwest Indiana focus is the I-80/94 FlexRoad project, which is the major corridor improvement program for the Borman corridor, but the accessible public materials I found were project-background and procurement/program pages rather than a same-day closure notice.

Ohio I-80 Road Conditions

In Ohio, the clearest posted I-80 item is in Hubbard Township, Trumbull County, where I-80 eastbound just west of the Pennsylvania state line has various lane restrictions tied to a pavement replacement project being overseen by PennDOT. ODOT says motorists should expect delays in this area. Ohio also has a separate westbound I-80 truck parking facility project just west of the Ohio-Pennsylvania line in Hubbard Township; that project’s traffic impacts call for daytime lane and shoulder closures on I-80 for speed-change-lane resurfacing and shoulder reconstruction, while maintaining through access on I-80.

Pennsylvania I-80 Road Conditions

In Pennsylvania, the most specific advisory I found posted today is not a ramp closure but a facility closure: the I-80 eastbound and westbound rest areas at mile marker 194 in Clinton County are closed for facility maintenance. For road construction, PennDOT shows an I-80 resurfacing project in Monroe County from the I-380 interchange to Bartonsville, including work on the Scotrun interchange (State Route 8006) and Tannersville interchange (State Route 8008). PennDOT also lists an 8.01-mile reconstruction project in Mercer County from milepost 11 to milepost 15 in East Lackawannock and Lackawannock townships. On the Ohio side of the state line, ODOT is already warning of delays from the Pennsylvania line pavement work, so this western Pennsylvania segment is one of the more notable active construction stretches on I-80 right now.

New Jersey I-80 Road Conditions

New Jersey has several specifically named I-80 work items around this date. NJDOT announced that I-80 westbound Exit 25 to Route 206 northbound in Mount Olive would be closed and detoured for drainage-improvement work this week. In addition, the 511NJ active-event feed shows scheduled I-80 work in North Jersey, including:

• I-80 westbound between east of Exit 39 (NJ 53) and east of Exit 37 (CR 513 / Hibernia Avenue) in Denville Township — right shoulder closed for a moving operation.
• I-80 westbound between west of Exit 52 (CR 613 / Passaic Avenue) in Fairfield Township and east of Exit 47A (I-280) in Montville Township — right shoulder closed for moving operations.
• I-80 westbound between east of Exit 47A (I-280) and east of Exit 43 (I-287) in Parsippany-Troy Hills — right shoulder closed for a moving operation.

For larger ongoing corridor construction, NJDOT’s Route 80 capital program also identifies major work tied to Interchange 61 in Elmwood Park and the Lakeview Avenue to Garden State Parkway segment, including westbound pavement reconstruction and interchange improvements.
