What this camera shows
At 4,413 feet, this live video stream provides a clear view of the ramp entrance, helping drivers gauge current traffic flow before they merge onto the interstate. Because this location sits significantly lower than the chain-control points at Mogul and Gold Ranch, it often remains free of the snow accumulation that can impact higher elevations. Watching the movement here allows you to see if vehicles are flowing smoothly or if a backup has already formed, providing a more immediate assessment of congestion than static images can offer.
Comparing this view to the feed from Rock Boulevard helps determine if traffic issues are localized to the city streets or extending onto the highway itself. If this camera shows clear, dry pavement while the higher elevation cameras display snow or active chain controls, it indicates that conditions are rapidly shifting as you climb toward the mountains. Checking this stream regularly ensures you have the most current information on local transit conditions before committing to the climb toward the state line.
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:
