I-80 (Interstate 80) Road Conditions

I-80 Road Conditions for December 10, 2025

On December 10, 2025, Interstate 80 has multiple active construction zones and several significant ramp closures. Long-term ramp closures continue at Baxter and Yuba Gap in the Sierra Nevada of California, lane closures persist near Sparks in Nevada, and multi-year reconstruction projects are underway in Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. In Iowa, an overnight full closure of I-80/I-35 between the Southwest Mixmaster and Iowa 141 is scheduled for tonight. New Jersey’s earlier long-term sinkhole-related closures near Wharton have ended; only short-duration maintenance and incident closures are expected there today.

• California: Baxter and Yuba Gap on/off-ramps and the eastbound I-80 off-ramp to SR-20 remain closed in the Sierra corridor; ramp work continues at Tennessee Street in Vallejo.
• Nevada: Nightly lane closures continue between Vista Boulevard and USA Parkway east of Sparks.
• Utah: Ongoing construction at SR-36/I-80 and between Kimball Junction and US-40 causes repeated lane and ramp restrictions.
• Wyoming: Long-term work between Patrick Draw and Wamsutter (around mileposts 141–149) maintains lane closures and traffic shifts.
• Nebraska: Major reconstruction near Ogallala–Roscoe, Chappell, North Platte, and between Lexington and Kearney continues with reduced lanes and width limits.
• Iowa: Southwest Mixmaster reconstruction continues; northbound I-80/I-35 between the Southwest Mixmaster and Iowa 141 is scheduled to fully close tonight from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m.
• Illinois: Multi-year I-80 reconstruction in Will County continues with significant ramp closures at the Larkin Avenue and Center Street/Meadow Avenue interchanges.
• Indiana: The US-6/State Road 51 interchange over I-80/94 in Lake Station remains an intensive work zone with ramp closures and realignments.
• Ohio: I-80/Ohio Turnpike construction zones between Toledo and Youngstown maintain lane closures and occasional ramp restrictions.
• Pennsylvania: Daytime lane restrictions continue westbound between Exits 256 and 242, with ongoing reconstruction of the first miles east of the Ohio line.
• New Jersey: All I-80 lanes near Wharton (Exit 34) have reopened after earlier sinkhole repairs; any closures today are short-term maintenance or incident related.

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 under a long-term pavement and bridge rehabilitation project between Monte Vista and Drum Forebay. Eastbound traffic for Baxter is detoured to continue to Drum Forebay, then return westbound on I-80 to reach Baxter.
• Sierra corridor – Yuba Gap & SR-20 (Nevada County): The Yuba Gap on- and off-ramps (eastbound and westbound) and the eastbound I-80 off-ramp to SR-20 remain closed until further notice for the Yuba Pass Separation Overhead Bridge project. Eastbound drivers heading to SR-20 or Yuba Gap are directed to continue to the Eagle Lakes Road exit and return westbound to access SR-20 or Yuba Gap.
• Vallejo – Tennessee Street / SR-29 / I-780 ramps (Solano County): An interchange improvement project is causing recurring ramp lane closures. Daytime work windows (roughly mid-morning to mid-afternoon) reduce capacity on the westbound I-80 ramp complex serving Tennessee Street, and short ramp restrictions can also occur at nearby SR-29 (Arkansas Street) and the I-780 eastbound off-ramp to Glen Cove Road.

I-80 Utah Road Conditions

• Tooele County – SR-36 to SR-201 (eastbound I-80): A multi-year project is adding an auxiliary lane on eastbound I-80 between the SR-36 interchange and the SR-201 junction and widening northbound SR-36 between I-80 and Stansbury Parkway. Night work on eastbound I-80 routinely closes or narrows lanes, and daytime construction on SR-36 can restrict lane and shoulder access at the interchange ramps.
• Summit County – Kimball Junction to US-40 corridor: Ongoing improvements between Kimball Junction and the US-40 junction continue to generate intermittent nighttime lane reductions and short ramp closures around the Kimball Junction and Silver Creek/US-40 interchanges as crews complete paving and bridge work.

I-80 Nebraska Road Conditions

• Ogallala – Roscoe (Keith County, approx. milepost 124–133): Active reconstruction east of Ogallala keeps I-80 traffic shifted to head-to-head operations in segments between Ogallala and Roscoe. Both directions are typically reduced to a single lane in the core work zones, with an approximate 11-foot width limit.
• Chappell area (Deuel County, approx. milepost 74–84): Bridge repair west of Chappell continues with intermittent single-lane closures in each direction and about a 12-foot width restriction through the project length.
• North Platte – US-83 / Exit 177–179 (Lincoln County): Electrical and lighting work around North Platte results in short-term lane closures in both directions near the US-83 interchange and Exit 179.
• Central Nebraska – Lexington to Kearney (approx. milepost 252–267): Reconstruction between Lexington and Kearney uses head-to-head traffic, lane closures, and roughly 10-foot width limits in the main work sections.

I-80 Ohio Road Conditions

• Ohio Turnpike – Toledo to Youngstown: The 2025 Turnpike construction program along I-80 continues with pavement replacement, resurfacing, and bridge work across several counties. Work zones often keep two lanes in each direction but still impose lane closures, narrowed shoulders, and reduced speeds. A previous long-term closure of the westbound ramp at Toll Plaza 152 (North Olmsted/Cleveland) ended earlier this year; remaining ramp impacts are generally shorter-term and shown on Turnpike and OHGO maps.
