Interstate 80 will be closed in both directions from 11pm Jan. 31 to 1am Feb. 1 so crews can repair power transmission lines damaged during the Jan. 8 mudslide just west of the Donner Lake interchange.

Automobiles will be detoured onto Donner Pass Road and can rejoin I-80 at the Donner Lake interchange. Trucks will be turned at Exit 184 and are encouraged to find parking in the Reno area during the closure.

Eastbound I-80 will be closed at Donner Summit (Castle Peak Exit 176). All traffic will exit, but automobiles will be allowed back onto the freeway to detour onto Donner Pass Road at the Donner Lake Interchange and reconnect with I-80 at Exit 184. Trucks are encouraged to utilize the Auburn Fairgrounds or Gold Run Rest Area for their waits. Limited parking for trucks will be available at Boreal Ski Resort after 11pm.
