Nevada 511 Road Conditions

NVRoads is the 511 service run by the Nevada Department of Transportation, at nvroads.com. It is the state's answer to what the road is doing at this minute, and NDOT publishes on it:

• Road closures and construction zones
• Chain control requirements
• Crashes and incidents
• Traffic cameras, concentrated around Las Vegas and Reno
• Roadway weather information and travel times
• Snowplow positions, but only in season — NDOT publishes them from about 15 October to 1 May
• MY511NV route alerts by text or email, and the same report by dialling 511 in-state

NVRoads and the conditions on this page

Nevada is where the gap between a report and a reading is widest, because the cameras sit around Las Vegas and Reno and the driving that goes wrong happens between them. I-80 over the Sierra and across the Humboldt basin, and US 50 through the middle of the state, run for hours at a time with no camera and no plow within sight of one. This page reads the surface along the whole line rather than at the points somebody mounted a camera on, which is the half of the drive NVRoads is quiet about.

No full closures are reported in Nevada as of Sep 14, 2026 7:27 PM PDT, and no lane closures or roadworks either. Always check with the responsible state DOT before setting off.

Interstates Through Nevada, Road by Road

Each stretch has its own live conditions, closures and cameras for the Nevada miles only — the weather 500 miles away on the same interstate says nothing about this drive.

• I-15 Nevada Road Conditions 124 mi
• I-80 Nevada Road Conditions 410 mi

NOAA 1991–2020 Climate Normals, from 4 weather stations in Nevada. A dash is a figure that station does not report, not a zero.

Snowfall across Nevada is not one number: Las Vegas averages 0.3" a year and Elko averages 41.3".

Every figure above is a town or a city. The summits are a different climate: Mount Rose Summit has its own page with the readings at the top and a six-day summit forecast.
