San Francisco to New Jersey · coast to coast. Here's what to watch, and where the weather actually bites.
I-80 runs about 2,900 miles from the San Francisco Bay Area to the edge of New York City, roughly tracing the old transcontinental routes. It crosses the Sierra Nevada, the Nevada and Utah desert, the Wasatch, the Great Plains, and the industrial Midwest.
Two mountain crossings define I-80's winter: Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada, one of the snowiest stretches of interstate anywhere, and Parleys Summit east of Salt Lake City. Beyond the mountains, the open stretches across Nevada, Wyoming, and Nebraska are notorious for wind and ground blizzards that close the road with no mountains in sight.
The cameras and alerts above are the before-you-leave view. In the MileCheck app, your exact mile marker and the nearest camera follow you over Donner and across the desert, hands-free on CarPlay and Android Auto.
The live map above shows active closures and incidents along I-80, straight from each state DOT; a red banner appears at the top of this page if a stretch is fully closed. See the US closures map for everything. The most common winter closure is Donner Pass.
