Snow and chain control slow holiday travel on I-80

Описание: Mandatory chain control on Interstate 80 near Donner Summit is slowing Christmas Eve travel as snow and slick conditions impact the Sierra. Caltrans is stopping vehicles without four-wheel drive at the Nyack exit, requiring drivers to put on chains or turn back before heading toward Reno. While conditions near Nyack include a mix of rain and snow, officials say the roadway becomes significantly worse just a few miles ahead.

Many holiday travelers, some unfamiliar with using chains, struggled to comply as traffic backed up. Professional chain installers and local businesses stepped in to help, with nearby gas stations stocked with snow chains for last-minute shoppers. Caltrans crews say they expect a long night and are urging drivers to prepare for continued chain control into the morning.
