I-80 (Interstate 80) Road Conditions

I-80 Road Conditions for December 4, 2025

Based on current long-duration construction and closure bulletins from state DOTs, the most notable impacts along I-80 today are:

• California (Placer & Nevada Counties): Long-term construction in the Sierra corridor with Baxter on- and off-ramps and Yuba Gap on-/off-ramps and the eastbound I-80 off-ramp to SR 20 closed until further notice as part of Caltrans pavement and bridge projects between Monte Vista & Drum Forebay and Yuba Gap & SR 20.
• Nevada (Reno): Ongoing I-80 West Reno Improvements project between West McCarran Boulevard and Keystone Avenue with narrowed, shifted lanes, reduced speeds, and intermittent ramp/road closures through mid-2026.
• Wyoming (Sweetwater County): Long-term eastbound reconstruction on I-80 between roughly mileposts 141–149 (Patrick Draw – Wamsutter) with milling, paving, bridge rehab and associated delays.
• Nebraska (multiple segments): NDOT’s current Construction & Detour Report lists several long-term I-80 work zones with lane closures and head-to-head traffic between communities such as Lodgepole–Chappell, Sutherland–Hershey, Gothenburg–Lexington–Kearney–Gibbon, Waco–Utica, and Milford–Pleasant Dale.
• Pennsylvania (Mercer & Centre Counties): Multi-year reconstruction of I-80 from the Ohio state line to about mile 5 in Mercer County with lane shifts and restrictions, and a separate high-speed I-80/I-99 interchange project near Bellefonte / PA-26 that can affect ramps and patterns near that junction.
• New Jersey (Wharton area): The former sinkhole work zone near Wharton (around Exit 34) has been fully reopened; there are no longer long-term lane closures from that project.
• Other segments (NV east of Reno, UT, IA, IL, IN, OH, remaining PA & NJ): Any additional lane or ramp closures appear only in the states’ real-time 511 maps and are not listed in text-based bulletins; expect localized short-term work zones that are not itemized below.

Note: This summary reflects long-duration construction and closure information published in official DOT/project reports. Short-term incidents, nightly closures, and minor maintenance are only visible on each state’s 511/traffic map and are not enumerated here.

I-80 California Road Conditions

• Sierra Corridor (Placer & Nevada Counties):
  Ongoing construction including the Monte Vista Pavement Rehabilitation Project and Yuba Pass Separation Overhead Bridge Project continues to generate lane and ramp closures between
  Monte Vista & Drum Forebay and between Yuba Gap & the SR 20 junction.
• Baxter ramps: As part of the I-80 Sierra corridor work, the Baxter on- and off-ramps are reported as closed until further notice, with eastbound traffic detoured to Drum Forebay and then back westbound to reach Baxter.
• Yuba Gap & SR 20 ramps: The Yuba Gap on- and off-ramps and the eastbound I-80 off-ramp to SR 20 are also reported as closed until further notice, with detours via Eagle Lakes Road back to I-80 for access to SR 20 or Yuba Gap.
• Additional daytime and overnight lane closures occur periodically along I-80 between roughly Monte Vista, Drum Forebay, Yuba Gap, Troy, and Soda Springs as work shifts along the corridor.

I-80 Nevada Road Conditions

• West Reno (West McCarran Blvd – Keystone Ave):
  The I-80 West Reno Improvements project is under way between West McCarran Boulevard (Exit 10) and Keystone Avenue (Exit 12). Lanes in both directions are narrowed and shifted 24/7 within the work zone, with speeds reduced (work-zone speed limit posted on-site).
• NDOT indicates drivers should expect intermittent ramp and local road closures within this stretch as staging changes; specific ramps and times appear only in the Nevada 511 map.

I-80 Utah Road Conditions

• No specific long-duration lane or ramp closures on I-80 could be confirmed in text-based UDOT construction bulletins for early December 2025.
  Any short-term work zones, ramp closures, or incident-related restrictions between the Nevada line and the Wyoming line are shown only on the UDOT Traffic/511 map.

I-80 Wyoming Road Conditions

• Patrick Draw – Wamsutter (Sweetwater County):
  A long-term construction project is active on eastbound I-80 roughly between mileposts 141 and 149, from the Patrick Draw / Bitter Creek area toward Wamsutter. Work includes milling, paving, bridge rehabilitation, rest area resurfacing, and traffic control.
• Within this work zone, drivers should expect construction congestion, slower speeds, narrow lanes and potential delays. Traffic configurations (including any head-to-head arrangements or lane drops) are posted on-site and reflected on WYDOT’s route report.
• Other portions of I-80 across Wyoming do not show long-duration construction closures in the current WYDOT route report; any short-term or incident-driven closures are listed only in the live system.

WYDOT I-80 Route Report

I-80 Nebraska Road Conditions

• Western Nebraska (Lodgepole – Chappell – Ogallala area):
  NDOT’s current Construction & Detour Report lists long-running I-80 work zones where lanes are closed or traffic is shifted head-to-head between the Lodgepole interchange and Chappell, and further east between Chappell and the junction with Link 27D (near Ogallala).
• Central Nebraska (Lincoln County & Dawson/Buffalo Counties):
  Additional projects affect I-80 segments between communities such as Sutherland and Hershey, Gothenburg and Lexington, Lexington and Overton / Elm Creek, and between Kearney, Odessa, and Gibbon. These zones involve combinations of single-lane closures, reduced-width lanes, crossover/head-to-head traffic and reduced speeds.
• Eastern Nebraska (York & Seward Counties):
  Farther east, NDOT lists long-duration work between Waco and Utica and between Milford and Pleasant Dale, again with lane closures and narrowed lanes through at least late 2025.

I-80 Iowa Road Conditions

• Iowa DOT’s construction and detour information indicates that I-80 experiences changing short-term work zones and ramp closures, particularly through urban areas such as Des Moines and the I-35/I-80 system, but current detailed lane and ramp closures are exposed only via the Iowa 511 interactive map.
• No single, clearly documented, multi-year I-80 closure or permanent ramp shutdown could be confirmed in text-based bulletins for early December 2025; drivers should treat any closures shown on 511 as current and authoritative.

I-80 Illinois Road Conditions

• I-80 in Illinois, especially through the Joliet / Will County corridor, is the focus of multiple ongoing improvement projects. These generate recurring lane reductions and work-zone speed limits, and can include ramp closures at interchanges within the corridor.
• However, specific day-of ramp closures and lane restrictions are managed through IDOT’s interactive construction/closure maps rather than static bulletins, so the exact ramps affected today must be read directly from those tools.

I-80 Indiana Road Conditions

• In Indiana, I-80 runs concurrent with the Indiana Toll Road (I-80/I-90). INDOT and the toll road operator report construction zones, lane restrictions, and ramp closures along this corridor only through their live mapping tools and advisories.
• No specific, static long-term I-80 ramp closures could be confirmed from currently available text-based bulletins; any active closures today will appear on the Trafficwise 511 map and the Indiana Toll Road traveler information.

I-80 Ohio Road Conditions

• In Ohio, I-80 largely follows the Ohio Turnpike. ODOT’s OHGO system and Ohio Turnpike tools report current construction zones, lane restrictions, toll plaza work, and ramp closures.
• No long-duration, static I-80 closure with clearly identified closed ramps could be confirmed from text-only advisories for early December 2025; all active work zones and ramp closures today must be read off the live OHGO map and Turnpike alerts.

I-80 Pennsylvania Road Conditions

• Mercer County (Ohio line – mile 5):
  PennDOT’s I-80 Reconstruction Project covers the first few miles of I-80 east of the Ohio state line in Mercer County. Since 2025, this multi-year project has used lane shifts and temporary lane restrictions, including configurations where:
  one eastbound lane is shifted adjacent to westbound traffic while the other passes the work zone.
• Drivers in this segment should expect shifting traffic patterns, occasional single-lane restrictions and work-zone speed limits through the 2025 construction season and beyond.
• Centre County – I-80 / I-99 Interchange (near Bellefonte / PA-26):
  PennDOT is constructing a new high-speed interchange connecting I-80 and I-99 near the Bellefonte area. This project can involve temporary lane and ramp closures around the I-80 exits serving I-99 and PA-26 as work progresses.
• Other short-term lane restrictions and ramp closures elsewhere on I-80 in Pennsylvania (for example, in Luzerne, Clinton, or Clarion counties) are posted dynamically via 511PA and may change from day to day.

I-80 New Jersey Road Conditions

• Wharton (Morris County) sinkhole repair area:
  NJDOT has fully reopened all lanes of I-80 near Wharton (around Exit 34) following emergency repairs earlier in 2025. There is currently no long-term closure or detour remaining at this location.
• Elsewhere in New Jersey, I-80 experiences changing short-term lane and ramp closures, especially near junctions with the Garden State Parkway and other major routes. These are managed via the live 511NJ system and are not listed in a static, statewide I-80 construction summary.
