Chain controls are expected to be in place, on and off, through Friday morning, with temporary highway closures possible, due to whiteout conditions, spinouts, or avalanche control work. Motorists are also advised that speed limits during chain controls are reduced to 25 to 30 miles an hour. And check out Cal Trans “Quick Map” app for current road conditions and restrictions.
