According to the Sierra Sun, chains are required for all eastbound traffic, with an exception for four wheel drive vehicles with four snow tires, from Kingvale to the Donner Lake Interchange. 

Chains are required for all westbound traffic, with the same exceptions, from the Donner Lake Interchange to 4.7 miles west of Kingvale. It is not clear when these requirements will be lifted, but snow is expected in the area through Saturday evening.
