Additionally, crews will begin upgrades to the westbound Donner Lake Vista Point starting 8 a.m.
Monday, May 13. As a result, the lookout will be closed until further notice. These upgrades
include new concrete pavement, new striping, new decorative pillars and a bronze plaque.
Motorists will experience delays and are encouraged to factor in additional travel times along the
I-80 corridor. 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.
The extended lane closures will help to minimize the duration of the work and improve workers’
safety.
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
