PLACER/NEVADA/SIERRA COUNTIES – Caltrans is reminding motorists of various lane closures and delays along Interstate 80 (I-80) as emergency repairs continue in Placer, Nevada and Sierra counties. Here is the breakdown for next week:
Westbound I-80
Eastbound I-80
Motorists will experience delays during this timeframe and are encouraged to use alternate routes to minimize any inconvenience. The schedule is subject to change or be delayed due to weather, availability of materials or other unexpected events.
Caltrans performed an extensive field review of the I-80 corridor in 2023 and found an unprecedented amount of damage. Several areas exhibited moderate to high levels of rutting due to chain wear and required immediate repair. Five emergency contracts were executed in 2023 for the repairs, along with an additional four emergency contracts in 2024, totaling $107.4 million. The primary contractors are Teichert, Vanguard Construction, Dees Burke Engineering Constructors, Granite Construction, and Q&D Construction.
