Traffic is being held or redirected at some locations due to hazardous road conditions.
All eastbound and westbound traffic has been released on Interstate 80 around Soda Springs; however, they are still redirecting truck traffic eastbound at Applegate and all traffic westbound at Truckee and the Nevada state line due to several spinouts, according to a Facebook post from Caltrans District 3.
Due to many spinouts, traffic is also being held eastbound at Echo Summit and westbound at Meyers.
Snow also impacting U.S. Highway 50 in the Sierra today! Traffic is being held westbound at Meyers and eastbound at Echo Summit due to multiple spinouts.

In order to be prepared, Caltrans advises drivers to pack their chains before leaving and drive slowly throughout the day in the mountains.
There is no definite timeframe for when the roads will reopen.
We will keep you updated as additional information becomes available as this is a developing story.
