Work on I-80 affecting Donner Lake Road access

Bridge painting work has closed Donner Lake Road under the Interstate 80 overcrossings.

This section of roadway will be closed until Aug. 18 while crews perform overdue painting and bridge preservation work. Ramps to and from I-80 will remain open, allowing motorists to access the next available exit.

Motorists wishing to access Donner Lake Road from westbound I-80 should continue to the Castle Peak exit (No. 176) to reverse direction and use eastbound I-80 to reach the Donner Lake Road exit. Motorists coming from Donner Lake on Donner Lake Road who wish to travel west on I-80 should travel east to the Donner Pass Road exit (No. 184) to cross over and access westbound I-80.
