Coverage details

Covers reported I-80 conditions from listed sources — some nearby roads aren't monitored. See what's included.

This page shows full-road conditions reported by MountainSwitch's listed I-80 sources, including District 3 feed rows outside the modeled Truckee and Lake Tahoe approaches.

Those route-wide reports don't expand either verdict. Truckee covers the known I-80 access paths from Colfax and the California–Nevada state line to the Truckee junction; Lake Tahoe's I-80 gate covers Colfax through Donner Summit to that junction. Neither verdict covers Nevada-side I-80 beyond the state line. District 3 Washoe County rows may remain visible route-wide as source truth, but they do not contribute to either verdict.

Conditions can change quickly in the mountains. This page never replaces chain requirements, closures, or official Caltrans guidance. Neither surface makes a safe-to-drive or all-clear claim.
