Caltrans temporarily held traffic on Interstate 80 over Donner Pass due to multiple spinouts and heavy snowfall on Thursday afternoon. Following reports of road hazards, both westbound and eastbound traffic experienced delays. With current winter storm warnings in the Lake Tahoe area, Caltrans advised against travel until conditions improve, citing potential risks of significant slow-downs and road closures during the storm period, particularly with an anticipated increase in snowfall later in the evening.
Travel in the Sierra is not advised at this time due to hazardous weather conditions, with officials warning of significant slow-downs and possible road closures.
Caltrans has requested travelers to delay trips until after the storm clears, especially with heavy traffic expected because of the upcoming holiday weekend.
