I-80 chain controls return as Sierra storm moves through

By Cecilio Padilla

Chain controls are back up on Interstate 80 as of Monday morning as another weather system moves through the region.

The controls are in effect from 4.7 miles west of Kingvale in Placer County to the Donner Lake Interchange in Nevada County.

For the moment, chain controls are not in effect along Highway 50.

Snow levels are expected to stay around the 5,500-6,000′ mark.

For the rest of the Sacramento Valley region, the heaviest precipitation is expected to be east of the Interstate 5 corridor.

Drier weather is expected to return by Tuesday.
