What are the Georgia Express Lanes?

  • July 31, 2019July 31, 2019
  • by Brandon Batt

Georgia Express Lanes are optional priced lanes that complement the general purpose lanes along the interstates in some of the most congested corridors around metro Atlanta. These lanes provide a choice for drivers to bypass congestion when desired, offer a clear path for transit operators, and add an alternative to the general purpose lanes that exist today. The result will be a network of express lanes that provide more reliable and predictable trip times. All Georgia Express Lanes rely on a dynamically-priced toll in order to provide reliable travel times especially during peak congestion.

 

Why is this express lanes project needed?

GRIDLOCK ALERT: Just HOT and fast lane open I-85/sb at I-285 with the repave after the fuel spill this AM. DOT tells me that SRTA is opening HOT lane for ALL drivers. Very few using it on this WSB Jam Cam below Jimmy Carter (Exit 99). Stay off I-85/sb below Hwy. 316. #ATLtraffic
