Coverage details

Covers the SR-267 approach from Truckee — some nearby roads aren't monitored. See what's included.

This status covers the modeled SR-267 approach from the I-80 junction in Truckee through the Nevada / Placer county line to Northstar Drive.

It doesn't include I-80 to Truckee (covered on the Truckee and I-80 pages), SR-267 from Northstar Drive over Brockway Summit to Kings Beach (covered on the Tahoe City page), or Northstar Drive beyond the SR-267 junction, which is an unmonitored resort road. The Placer PM 3.85 chain row stays visible route-wide and contributes to the Tahoe City path, but not to this destination verdict. Other route-wide conditions outside the modeled approach do not change this verdict.

Conditions can change quickly in the mountains. This page never replaces chain requirements, closures, or official Caltrans guidance. The Placer PM 3.85 chain row contributes to Tahoe City's longer SR-267 path but not to the Northstar California verdict. Neither surface makes a safe-to-drive or all-clear claim.
