The purpose of the proposed project is to provide additional congestion relief, provide enhanced operational and safety improvements, expand the mobility options in the corridor, and maintain consistency with the provisions defined in Assembly Bills 2032 (2004) and 574 (2007) to implement express lanes in the I-580 corridor.

The express lane will allow carpools, vanpools, motorcycles, buses, and eligible clean-air vehicles to travel without a fee, while also giving solo drivers the option to pay to use the lane to avoid congestion. The length of the proposed project is approximately 13.7 miles.
