The westbound lanes have since reopened.
I-80 also closed for eastbound traffic at mile marker 41 near Potter.
NSP advises that it's best to stay off the roads in snow affected areas for now.

If you don't need to travel, best to stay off the roads in snow affected areas for now. Troopers have been busy. pic.twitter.com/qRlFj1ZH8g
Snows covers the majority of roads in west/north/central Nebraska this morning.

With all the rain we got as well, ice is possible on areas both with snow and without.
IF you have to travel today, take it slow and practice safe winter driving. #BeSafe #NeRoads pic.twitter.com/AeR3DfKRpc
