What this camera shows

This live video stream captures traffic flow at an elevation of 4,408 feet, placing it well below the chain-control points at Mogul and Gold Ranch. Because this location sits at a lower altitude than the mountain passes further west, it often remains clear even when snow begins to accumulate at higher elevations. Watching this feed helps drivers gauge the immediate conditions within the Reno metro area before they encounter the steeper grades and potential restrictions found further up the mountain.

Since this feed provides a continuous video stream rather than a static image, it is the most reliable way to observe current traffic speed and density at this interchange. If the stream appears dark or obscured, it is best to check back in a few minutes, as conditions can change rapidly. This view serves as the final check for local traffic flow before drivers begin the climb toward the higher elevation cameras at East Verdi and beyond.

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:
