Caltrans is advising motorists that winter weather with the potential for snow is projected starting May 25.

Caltrans urges motorists traveling over the Interstate 80 and Highway 50 this weekend that chain controls may be in effect due to ice and snow at the summits. Motorists should plan ahead for adverse driving conditions by packing provisions, ensuring the vehicle is in good working order with proper tire tread and to carry chains.

Most traffic interfering work will be suspended for the holiday weekend. However, motorists can expect all lanes on I-80 from Highway 20 to Cisco Grove to be narrowed to 11-feet. There are no scheduled lane restrictions on Highway 50.
