Topic: Attn: Reno-Fernley Competitors from the Bay Area

Per CalTrans website:

I-80 [IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA & THE SIERRA NEVADA] IS CLOSED TO EASTBOUND TRAFFIC FROM THE JCT OF SR 174 /IN COLFAX/ TO 
4 MI EAST OF COLFAX /AT SECRET TOWN RD/ (PLACER CO) FROM 1900 HRS EACH NIGHT TO 0700 HRS EACH MORNING 7 DAYS A WEEK THRU 7/31/09 DUE TO CONSTRUCTION - A DETOUR IS AVAILABLE - TRUCKS MUST EXIT AT BELL RD /2.5 MI EAST OF AUBURN.

I-80 IS CLOSED TO WESTBOUND TRAFFIC FROM 3 MI WEST OF GOLD RUN /AT SECRET TOWN RD/ TO THE JCT OF SR 174 /IN COLFAX/ (PLACER CO) FROM 1900 HRS
EACH NIGHT TO 0700 HRS EACH MORNING 7 DAYS A WEEK THRU 9/9/09 - DUE TO CONSTRUCTION - A DETOUR IS AVAILABLE - TRUCKS MUST EXIT AT THE 
JCT OF SR 20

As with all CalTrans classifications, this detour may include cars (or RV's) pulling trailers.  If so, the detour is taking Hwy. 49 from Auburn all the way to Emigrant Gap (junction Hwy 20).  Plan on adding 1 hour to your tow.

My thanx to Bill Davis for noticing this highway alert.

Thank you for this heads up. It looks like we're gonna need to leave around 5 am to get to Fernley by noon. AWESOME

Good stuff.  Thanks for letting us know!

TST, fool.

It's a Bunny.  With a pancake.  On its head.  Really, is it that tough?
