(Sacramento, CA) — The first snowfall of the season on Wednesday triggered chain requirements on Interstate 80 near the Nevada border, raising concerns about the road’s winter readiness.

A major roadwork project on I-80, addressing sections between Colfax and the Nevada State Line, began at the end of August due to previous winter storms causing damage. Caltrans spokesperson Jeremy Linder cited the extensive repair work for the ongoing delays, with no official timeline for completion.
