What this camera shows
At 4,440 feet, this camera sits at a lower elevation than the chain-control points in Mogul and at the state line. Because it is positioned below these higher-altitude checkpoints, this feed is often clear even when snow begins to accumulate further west. Comparing this view to cameras at Mogul or the state line helps determine if winter conditions are moving down the grade. Since this is a live video stream, it provides a real-time look at traffic flow that static images cannot capture.
Drivers can use this feed to verify if traffic is moving freely before reaching the higher terrain. While the camera at E. McCarran Blvd sits at 4,400 feet, this view focuses on the Battleborn and Kietzke area to confirm local conditions. If this segment appears clear while higher-elevation cameras show precipitation, storm activity remains confined to the upper grades. Checking this feed alongside the camera at Derby Dam provides a clear picture of conditions across this stretch.
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:
