What this camera shows

At 4,438 feet, this location sits below the nearest chain-control points at Mogul and the state line. Because these higher points start at 4,724 feet and 5,019 feet respectively, this view serves as an indicator of how far down a storm has reached. If this live feed displays snow or accumulating moisture while the higher cameras show heavy buildup, it suggests that conditions are worsening and controls will likely shift downward toward this elevation.

Unlike static images that update periodically, this live video stream provides a continuous look at traffic movement. By observing this feed alongside the cameras at Nightingale and the higher mountain passes, drivers can distinguish between isolated slowdowns and systemic road closures. This specific view helps identify if vehicles are moving freely through the lower terrain or if traffic has stalled due to incidents occurring further up the grade.

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:
