FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nightly Traffic Breaks Scheduled Along Interstate 80
Part of Emergency Pavement Repairs Between Floriston and Nevada State Line
NEVADA/SIERRA COUNTIES – Caltrans is
alerting motorists of scheduled traffic breaks,
lane closures and delays along Interstate 80
(I-80) as crews continue emergency
pavement repairs in Nevada and Sierra
counties.
Crews are grinding existing wheel ruts in the
slow lane and preparing the surface for a
polyester concrete inlay during the next three
weeks along westbound I-80 between the
Nevada state line and Floriston starting
Sunday, May 5 through Wednesday, May
22.
Due to the narrow width of the highway, work is scheduled with nightly traffic breaks between
7 p.m. and 6 a.m. Various lane closures will also be in place around the clock in order for
the polyester concrete to properly set.
Motorists will experience delays during this timeframe and are encouraged to use alternate
routes to minimize any inconvenience. The extended lane closures and traffic breaks will help to
minimize the duration of the project and improve workers’ safety.
Work is not allowed during the weekends and no traffic restrictions will be in place between 5
p.m. on Fridays and 3 p.m. on Sundays. Crews will pause construction activities during the
Memorial Day holiday weekend and are scheduled to resume repairs along eastbound I-80
between Mystic and the Nevada state line Sunday, June 2 through Friday, June 14.
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.
Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 lane miles in 11
Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties. Caltrans reminds motorists to “Be Work Zone
Alert” and slow in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these
improvements.
The department will issue construction updates on X @CaltransDist3 and on Facebook at
CaltransDistrict3. For real-time traffic, click on Caltrans’ QuickMap or download the QuickMap
