California Storm Watch: I-80 reopens after multiple spinouts

Spinouts have closed eastbound Interstate 80 to all semitrucks at Applegate and all traffic eastbound at Baxter.

CALIFORNIA, USA — The first of two atmospheric rivers hitting California is slowly pushing out of the state, but not without bringing scattered rain and snow showers to the Northern California region Friday. 

Lingering snow showered in the Sierra are causing impacts to travel, according to Caltrans. Eastbound Interstate 80 at Applegate is closed to all semitrucks. 

With the wet and snowy weather comes intermittent chain controls as well, according to the California Highway Patrol.

See the latest chain controls and a traffic map below to plan ahead for the weekend. 

Chain controls

  • I-80 westbound is R2 from the Donner Lake interchange to Alta
  • I-80 eastbound is R2 from Alta to the Donner Lake interchange

Trucks are at minimum restrictions.
