What this camera shows

This live video feed provides a direct look at traffic flow at an elevation of 4,143 feet. Because this location sits significantly lower than the chain control points at Mogul and the state line, it often remains clear even when weather conditions deteriorate further west. Watching the movement here helps determine if traffic is flowing freely or if congestion is backing up from the higher elevations closer to the Sierra.

Since this feed updates in real time, it is the most reliable way to gauge immediate road conditions before you reach the steeper grades. If the pavement appears wet or snow-covered here, it is a strong indicator that conditions are worsening significantly at the higher elevations to the west. Checking this stream alongside the camera at Keystone Avenue provides a clear comparison of how quickly weather or traffic impacts change as the road climbs toward the mountains.

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:
