What this camera shows

Situated at 4,450 feet, this location sits significantly lower than the nearest chain-control points at Mogul, which is at 4,724 feet, and Gold Ranch, at 5,019 feet. Because of this elevation difference, the camera often remains clear even when weather impacts higher sections of the interstate. Observing this feed allows for a comparison against conditions at the higher-altitude cameras to determine if storm activity is moving down the grade toward the valley floor.

The live video stream provides a real-time look at traffic flow, which is useful for identifying whether vehicles are maintaining speed or experiencing delays. While the Keystone Ave camera at 4,569 feet monitors the transition toward the city and the Lovelock camera at 3,978 feet shows conditions further east, this view captures the specific environment between those points. Monitoring this stream helps clarify if congestion is building as traffic approaches the higher, more challenging mountain passes.

Chain-control points on I-80

Caltrans does not control the whole road at once — it sets controls at whichever point matches the snow level, so the same storm produces controls at different places on different days. These are the California-side points, highest first:
