Eastbound Interstate 80 will be closed approximately 13 miles east of Truckee near Farad from 4-8am June 19 in order to remove a truck and trailer from the Truckee River canyon.

Towing efforts on Monday to remove the crashed truck and trailer from the canyon were unsuccessful. A full closure of both freeway lanes is required for the removal.

All eastbound Interstate 80 traffic will be stopped at Highway 267 at 4am.  Towing activities may take several hours. Caltrans anticipates to reopen the freeway at 8am.

Significant traffic delays are expected and local highways may be impacted. Motorists are encouraged to plan for delays and adjust their travel time accordingly.
