I-80 California Road Conditions

• Baxter ramps (Placer County):
  Eastbound I-80 on- and off-ramps at Baxter are closed for an extended pavement rehabilitation project between
  the Dutch Flat/Monte Vista area and Drum Forebay. Eastbound drivers use the Drum Forebay interchange to turn
  around and re-enter I-80 westbound to reach Baxter.
• Yuba Gap & I-80/SR 20 interchange (Nevada County):
  The eastbound I-80 off-ramp to SR 20 and the Yuba Gap eastbound on- and off-ramps remain closed for bridge and
  interchange construction. SR 20 on-ramps to I-80 in this area can also be closed overnight with signed detours
  to nearby interchanges.
• Monte Vista to Drum Forebay mainline:
  Through Clipper Gap, Applegate, Weimar, and Drum Forebay, I-80 runs through a long work zone with lane shifts
  and intermittent single-lane closures in both directions.

I-80 Wyoming Road Conditions

• Evanston area (around MP 5.9 eastbound):
  Near Evanston, the eastbound left lane around milepost 5.9 remains closed in a long-term work zone with traffic
  shifted to the right lane.
• Green River tunnels (MP 88–91):
  Through the tunnel corridor near Green River, construction keeps both directions in narrowed lanes between
  mileposts 88 and 91. The eastbound on-ramp serving Green River near milepost 89 can be intermittently closed for
  tunnel and structure work.
• Patrick Draw to Wamsutter (MP 141–149 eastbound):
  A long-term project between Patrick Draw and Wamsutter keeps sections of eastbound I-80 under lane closures with
  paving and bridge rehabilitation. Work also affects ramps and parking areas near the rest area in this segment.

I-80 Nebraska Road Conditions

• Chappell area (approx. MP 74–84):
  Bridge work west of Chappell causes intermittent single-lane closures in both directions along this stretch, with
  width restrictions around 12 feet.
• Ogallala / Roscoe (approx. MP 124–133):
  Near Ogallala, the westbound right lane is closed between about mile 128 and 124. From roughly mile 124 to Exit 133
  (Roscoe), both directions run head-to-head on a single carriageway with reduced speeds and an approximate
  11-foot width limit.
• Paxton (approx. MP 144–145 westbound):
  Between Exit 145 (Paxton) and about mile 144, the westbound left lane is closed for ongoing road work.
• Gothenburg area (approx. MP 197–206):
  Bridge construction west of Gothenburg produces intermittent lane closures in both directions between roughly mile
  197 and 206, including segments where the eastbound right lane (around mile 200–203) is closed for bridge repairs.
• North Platte (US 83 to Exit 179):
  Electrical and lighting work near North Platte leads to periodic lane closures in both directions between the US 83
  interchange and Exit 179.
• Cozad to Darr (approx. MP 221–230):
  A multi-year reconstruction project between Cozad and Darr keeps I-80 in narrowed, shifted lanes with ongoing
  lane closures and reduced shoulders inside the work zone.

I-80 Iowa Road Conditions

• Grand Prairie Parkway (Exit 118) to I-80/I-35/I-235 (Southwest Mixmaster, Des Moines):
  This corridor remains an active reconstruction zone. After recent overnight full closures, traffic operates on
  shifted lanes, and additional nighttime full mainline and ramp closures continue to be scheduled between Grand
  Prairie Parkway and the Southwest Mixmaster.
• I-80/US 65 (Northeast Mixmaster, Altoona):
  The northbound US 65 ramp to westbound I-80 is subject to recurring nighttime closures as new I-80 pavement is
  tied in. On select nights, westbound I-80 is fully closed at this interchange, with signed detours using US 65,
  US 6/Hubbell Ave, I-235, and I-35/I-80.

I-80 Illinois Road Conditions

• Joliet – I-55/I-80 Interchange ramp closures:
  Two key ramps remain closed long-term for interchange reconstruction:
  • Southbound I-55 to eastbound I-80 ramp – closed for a multi-year rebuild, not expected to reopen until
    roughly fall 2026.
  • Northbound I-55 to westbound I-80 ramp – closed for the same project, with reopening anticipated around
    fall 2025.

  Traffic between I-55 and I-80 is routed via signed detours.

• Ridge Road to US 30 (Will County):
  About 12 miles of I-80 between Ridge Road and US 30 are under major reconstruction, with lane shifts, narrowed
  lanes, and frequent overnight or weekend lane closures in both directions.
• Des Plaines River bridge (Joliet):
  Bridge work on I-80 over the Des Plaines River results in recurring nighttime lane closures; at least one lane
  typically remains open in each direction, but delays are common near the bridge approaches.

I-80 Indiana Road Conditions

• Indiana Toll Road (I-80/90) PUSH 4.0 – MM 123–157:
  Between roughly milepost 123 (near Howe, IN) and milepost 157 (toward the Ohio line), long-term reconstruction
  keeps mainline traffic in shifted patterns with active single-lane closures in various work segments.
• Eastpoint Toll Plaza and ramps:
  Modernization work at the Eastpoint toll barrier within this segment results in intermittent closures of specific
  toll lanes and short sections of ramps. Other lanes remain open, but drivers should expect changing patterns.
