Truckee, CA – Westbound traffic on Interstate 80 at the Nevada State Line has been released this afternoon, though one lane remains closed as crews continue working at the scene, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Truckee division.
CHP reported the update around 12:38 p.m. Saturday, November 16, noting that while vehicles are moving westbound again, the #2 lane remains closed for personnel safety and cleanup operations.
Motorists traveling through the area are urged to reduce speed and watch for workers as traffic flows through a partial closure zone. CHP officers remain on scene assisting with lane management and ensuring driver safety during the ongoing operation.
The full reason for the earlier closure has not been specified, but CHP officials said they will post another update once all lanes reopen at the Nevada border. Delays may continue throughout the afternoon as cleanup wraps up and traffic patterns return to normal.
Drivers are encouraged to check CHP Truckee’s official social media for real-time updates and plan extra travel time if heading westbound from Nevada into California.
