I-80 (Interstate 80) Road Conditions

I-80 Road Conditions for December 5, 2025

Today, key planned work and restrictions on I-80 include: a daytime single-lane closure on the westbound I-80 on/off ramp at Tennessee Road in Vallejo, California; overnight single-lane closures on I-80 between Vista Boulevard and USA Parkway east of Sparks, Nevada; ongoing construction with expected delays on eastbound I-80 between roughly mileposts 141–149 between Patrick Draw and Wamsutter in southwest Wyoming; nightly westbound I-80 lane and ramp closures at the Des Plaines River bridge in Joliet, Illinois; lane restrictions for pavement grooving on westbound I-80 between Exit 256 (Nescopeck/Conyngham) and Exit 242 (Mifflinville) in eastern Pennsylvania; and traffic pattern changes in the I-80 reconstruction work zone near the Ohio state line in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. Many additional short-term lane, ramp, and shoulder closures are managed via each state’s 511 system and may not be fully listed here.

I-80 California Road Conditions

• Solano County – Vallejo: From December 1–12, a daytime single-lane closure is in place on the westbound I-80 on/off ramp to/from Tennessee Road (post mile ~3.4) between approximately 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. each weekday for electrical and ADA ramp work. Expect ramp congestion and short delays near this interchange.

For additional real-time lane and ramp closures on I-80 in California, use Caltrans QuickMap.

I-80 Nevada Road Conditions

• Washoe County – East of Sparks: Through December 2025, there are overnight single-lane closures on I-80 between Vista Boulevard and the USA Parkway interchange, affecting both eastbound and westbound lanes on rotating segments. The work window is generally overnight (evening to early-morning hours), with lane closures up to about two miles long. Drivers should expect reduced speeds and periodic delays in this corridor.

For current I-80 incidents and lane closures in Nevada, use Nevada 511 (NVroads).

I-80 Utah Road Conditions

• Salt Lake County – SR-36 to SR-201: UDOT has an improvement project adding an auxiliary eastbound lane on I-80 between SR-36 (Tooele interchange) and the SR-201 exit. Work in this area has involved periodic lane shifts and short-term lane closures. Any specific closures in effect today are managed as day-to-day traffic control and will appear on UDOT’s live traffic system rather than static project pages.
• Summit/Wasatch Counties – Kimball Junction to US-40: A 2025 paving project between Kimball Junction and US-40 is reported as substantially complete; remaining work, if any, is limited and handled via short-duration lane closures.

For detailed, real-time I-80 lane and ramp closures in Utah, refer to UDOT Traffic (Utah 511).

I-80 Wyoming Road Conditions

• Southwest Wyoming – Patrick Draw to Wamsutter: A long-term construction project on eastbound I-80 between mileposts 141 and 149 (between the Patrick Draw area and Wamsutter) involves milling, paving, bridge rehabilitation, and rest area resurfacing. Drivers should expect construction congestion, reduced speeds, and periodic lane closures through this stretch.
• Evanston to Cheyenne: As of early today, multiple segments between Evanston and Laramie/Cheyenne carry restrictions on high-profile vehicles (closures to certain high-profile/low-weight vehicles) due to safety concerns, along with varying chain and speed restrictions. Exact restricted segments and thresholds change frequently during the day.

For up-to-the-minute I-80 restrictions, closures, and construction in Wyoming, use WYDOT 511.

I-80 Nebraska Road Conditions

• Central & Western Nebraska: Nebraska DOT’s current construction reports list multiple ongoing work zones on I-80 in central and western Nebraska (generally between the North Platte area and Ogallala, and on other stretches further east). These projects include pavement rehabilitation and bridge work that produce reduced speeds, lane shifts, and occasional head-to-head traffic in work zones.
• Exact lane configuration, open/closed ramps, and any daytime or nighttime closures vary by segment and date and are controlled with dynamic work-zone traffic control.

For precise locations and timings of I-80 closures and construction in Nebraska, see Nebraska 511.

I-80 Iowa Road Conditions

• Des Moines Metro – I-80/I-35 “Southwest Mixmaster”: Ongoing interchange and systems work continues to generate overnight mainline closures and ramp closures on sections of I-80 and I-35 near the Southwest Mixmaster and Jordan Creek Parkway. The most recently published closures are scheduled for December 8 and 10, when portions of the I-80/I-35 system ramps will close overnight for construction.
• Altoona – I-80 / U.S. 65 Interchange: A series of projects at this interchange has involved ramp and lane closures through late November; ongoing work may still cause shoulder closures and intermittent lane restrictions today, controlled via work-zone signing and Iowa 511 updates.

For current I-80 closures and lane/ramp restrictions in Iowa, consult Iowa 511.

I-80 Illinois Road Conditions

• Joliet – Des Plaines River Bridge: Nightly construction closures continue on westbound I-80 as part of steel repairs on the Des Plaines River bridge in Joliet. On weeknights from about 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.:
  • The right lane of westbound I-80 is closed between Chicago Street and Meadow Avenue.
  • The southbound Chicago Street ramp to westbound I-80 is closed each night.
  This work is expected to continue through late December, causing recurring nighttime delays in this corridor.

For additional active work zones and incidents on I-80 in Illinois, see IDOT’s Getting Around Illinois (Traffic & Construction).

I-80 Indiana Road Conditions

• Northwest Indiana – I-80/I-94 Corridor (Borman Expressway): INDOT’s 80/94 FlexRoad project is in the planning and design phase to improve I-80/I-94 between IL 394 and I-65. Current construction impacts are primarily short-term lane closures and maintenance work rather than long-duration full closures.
• Day-to-day lane and ramp closures for maintenance, incidents, or minor construction are posted to Indiana’s 511 system and may not appear in static project summaries.

For real-time I-80/I-94 conditions and construction information in Indiana, use Indiana 511.

I-80 Ohio Road Conditions

• Ohio Turnpike (Toledo–Youngstown): The Ohio Turnpike’s ongoing capital improvement program includes multiple construction zones with reduced speed limits and intermittent lane closures along the I-80 corridor, as pavement and bridge work continues and third-lane widening progresses between Toledo and Youngstown.
• Exact work locations, closed ramps, and active lane closures change frequently and are managed through the Ohio Turnpike’s traveler information tools and OHGO-based maps.

For the latest I-80/Ohio Turnpike construction and lane closures, refer to Ohio Turnpike Construction and OHGO.

I-80 Pennsylvania Road Conditions

• Columbia County – Nescopeck/Conyngham to Mifflinville: From Monday, December 1 through Monday, December 15, westbound I-80 between Exit 256 (Nescopeck/Conyngham) and Exit 242 (Mifflinville) has lane restrictions and short-term closures between approximately 6:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. for road surface grooving. Expect daytime lane closures and possible brief stoppages in this stretch.
• Mercer County – Near the Ohio Line: A multi-year reconstruction and safety-improvement project is active on I-80 near the Ohio state line, with traffic pattern changes and lane shifts. Two lanes are generally maintained but with narrowed lanes, shifted alignments, and work-zone speed limits.

For current I-80 closures, lane restrictions, and traffic cameras in Pennsylvania, use 511PA.

I-80 New Jersey Road Conditions

• Wharton Area – Morris County: I-80 in the Wharton area, which previously experienced long-term lane closures for sinkhole-related repairs, is reported fully reopened with normal lane configuration following completion of that construction earlier this year. Any current closures in this area are short-term and incident- or maintenance-based.
• Across northern New Jersey, day-to-day I-80 lane and ramp closures (for maintenance, minor construction, or incidents) are managed via the state’s 511 system and are not fully captured in static summaries.

For live I-80 traffic cameras, lane closures, and ramp restrictions in New Jersey, refer to 511NJ.
