Interstate 80 runs from San Francisco to I-95 in Teaneck, New Jersey. The FHWA route log puts it at 2,891.59 miles through 11 states (routes as designated on December 31, 2025), and FHWA's route finder lists it as the second-longest Interstate after I-90. For a truck the hard miles are in the West: the Sierra Nevada at Donner Summit, where Caltrans runs chain controls, and southern Wyoming, where the road tops out at 8,640 feet on Sherman Hill and WYDOT closes sections to light, high-profile vehicles in high wind.
California has two toll bridges and a chain law with no season. The Bay Area Toll Authority collects the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge toll westbound only and the Carquinez Bridge toll eastbound only, at Vallejo. A 5-axle combination pays $30.50 at each in 2026 and $33.00 from January 1, 2027 ($0.25 more on a license plate account, $1 more by invoice), and the toll counts every axle on the road. Caltrans sets no dates for carrying chains. When it posts chain controls over Donner, every heavy-duty vehicle over 6,500 pounds must have chains on, snow tires or not, and Caltrans may stop every heavy truck at a screening checkpoint to see them. The Caltrans exit list puts weigh stations at Cordelia (statewide milepost 41.81), Antelope (99.55) and, westbound only, east of Truckee (190.96).
Wyoming has 402.59 miles of I-80 and no tolls. WYDOT's wind closures there have been weight-based since 2023: the sign closes the road to light, high-profile vehicles under a posted gross vehicle weight, and enclosed trailers such as 53-foot box trailers and doubles are the most likely to blow over. Driving into one of those closures has been a misdemeanor with a $1,000 fine since July 1, 2024. Between Laramie and Cheyenne the road climbs Sherman Hill through Telephone Canyon, at grades the Wyoming Highway Patrol puts at about 6 percent, to The Summit near exit 323, the highest point on I-80.
East of Cheyenne the road is free through Nebraska and Iowa. It shares 3.00 miles with I-29 in Council Bluffs and 14.29 miles with I-35 at Des Moines. Winter closes it there too: on December 13, 2025, Iowa DOT shut all lanes from I-380 at Coralville to Walcott so the Iowa State Patrol could reach multiple crashes. I-80 crosses the Mississippi at LeClaire, runs through Chicago's south suburbs with 5.32 miles on the Tri-State Tollway, then joins I-90 on the Indiana Toll Road and the Ohio Turnpike. It leaves the Turnpike at exit 218, Niles-Youngstown. The 311.21 miles in Pennsylvania and 68.56 miles in New Jersey have one toll, at the Delaware Water Gap Toll Bridge. The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission collects it westbound (Pennsylvania-bound) only, at $6.50 an axle with E-ZPass or $8 an axle by plate in 2026: $32.50 or $40 for a 5-axle rig. In a storm, PennDOT can bar most trucks from I-80 under its tiered restrictions.

Donner Summit, CA (exits 174 to 184)
Caltrans names I-80 over Donner Pass, with I-5 north of Redding and US 50 over Echo Summit, as examples of the northern California mountain passes where chains are most often required. It sets no dates for carrying chains. Once chain controls are posted, every heavy-duty vehicle over 6,500 pounds gross must have chains mounted to go on, and snow tires do not exempt it. Over Donner, Caltrans says heavy trucks are usually required to have link-type chain on at least the main drive axle. At R-1, any vehicle towing a trailer chains one drive axle and a trailer with brakes chains at least one axle; R-3 means chains or traction devices on every vehicle. In unsettled weather Caltrans may set up truck screening checkpoints on the approaches, where every heavy truck stops to show its chains. Trucks without them are sent back to a lower elevation, and Caltrans says there is no room higher up to park them. Have the chains on board before you leave Sacramento eastbound or Reno westbound.
Elk Mountain to Cooper Cove Road, WY (exits 255 to 279)
Between Walcott Junction (exit 235) and Laramie, the WYDOT road report splits I-80 into closure segments at exit 255 (WY 72, Elk Mountain), exit 267 (Wagonhound Road), Arlington, exit 279 (Cooper Cove Road) and exit 290 (Quealy Dome). WYDOT has closed highway sections to light, high-profile vehicles since 2011, and since 2023 those closures are weight-based. The sign gives a gross vehicle weight (GVW), which WYDOT counts as the truck and payload at that moment, people and contents included. Vehicles under that weight may not go on. Enclosed trailers such as 53-foot box trailers and doubles are the most likely to blow over. Box trucks, RVs, camper trailers and cattle haulers are covered too, while unloaded tankers and flatbeds without a high-profile load usually are not. Since July 1, 2024, driving into such a closure is a misdemeanor with a $1,000 fine and up to 30 days in jail. A second offense within three years of a conviction carries a $2,500 fine and up to 30 days in jail, and it counts as reckless driving under W.S. 31-5-229 for driver-licensing purposes. The fine is the driver's to pay (W.S. 24-1-109(d)). If you are running empty or light, check the WYDOT road report before you leave Rawlins eastbound or Laramie westbound.
Sherman Hill and Telephone Canyon, WY (Laramie to exit 335)
The Wyoming Highway Patrol calls the highest section of I-80 The Summit, at 8,640 feet, just east of Laramie and west of Cheyenne. From Laramie the road climbs Sherman Hill through Telephone Canyon to exit 323 (Happy Jack Road), with grades averaging about 6 percent and long, winding curves. The next WYDOT road report segment runs from there to exit 335 (Buford). Eastbound trucks have a climbing lane in Telephone Canyon at mileposts 320 to 324 (WYDOT). Variable speed limit signs are posted throughout, and WHP says they should always be followed. WHP also warns of winds strong enough to push trailers onto their sides, and of snow that is common into early summer. Westbound, the same grades take you down into Laramie, so pick your gear at the top.
Joliet, IL (Ridge Road in Minooka to US 30)
IDOT is rebuilding 16 miles of I-80 from Ridge Road in Minooka to US 30 in Joliet and New Lenox. It plans rebuilt interchanges at I-55, Larkin Avenue, Center Street, Chicago Street, Richards Street and Briggs Street, and more than 30 bridges will be rehabilitated or replaced. IDOT expects to finish by the end of 2028 (IDOT, April 20, 2026). Most Chicago Street (US 52/IL 53) ramps closed from April 24, 2026 and are expected to reopen in 2028. Eastbound I-80 to southbound Chicago Street stays open, and a temporary ramp carries southbound Chicago Street to westbound I-80. At I-55, IDOT said on June 30, 2026 that the southbound I-55 to eastbound I-80 ramp would stay closed until later in the fall, and it closed the northbound I-55 to westbound I-80 and westbound I-80 to southbound I-55 ramps from July 7, with reopening expected in late fall. Check IDOT before you count on those ramps. IDOT tells drivers to expect lane shifts, overnight lane closures and delays, so allow extra time and follow the posted detours.
Carbon and Monroe counties, PA (eastern Pennsylvania)
PennDOT restricts trucks on I-80 storm by storm, in tiers. On January 26, 2026 it eased I-80 in Carbon and Monroe counties from Tier 4 to Tier 3: no commercial vehicles except loaded single trailers with chains or approved alternate traction devices, and no buses, RVs or passenger vehicles towing trailers. The speed limit was 45 mph for every vehicle, and any CMV still allowed had to stay in the right lane. Empty trucks and trailers, empty doubles included, are barred from Tier 1 up. Loaded doubles need chains at Tier 2 and are barred from Tier 3 up, and PennDOT can post a 55 or 45 mph limit for every vehicle, cars included. Check 511PA for the current tier before a winter run through eastern Pennsylvania.
