"Limited Access" Striping to Start

Contractors putting the finishing touches on the Express Lane will start striping the roadway with a double solid line beginning the week of September 7th. There will be three entry points and three exit points, rather than the dotted line of the existing carpool lane. For details, click here.

Opening Set for September 20!

Construction is on schedule for the I-680 Southbound Express Lane to open at 5 a.m. on Monday September 20. Crews are widening and repaving the roadway, constructing auxiliary lanes, and installing the electronic tolling equipment.

First, an Eastbound Carpool Lane

More than half of the Eastbound I-580 widening project is now open as a carpool lane. The first 4.5 miles opened in October 2009, and another 2.9 miles opened in July 2010. The carpool lane now goes from Airway Boulevard to Greenville Road. The western segment of the entire 11-mile lane, from Hacienda Road to Airway, will be completed in fall 2010. Then in 2011, the carpool lane will be converted to an Express Lane. And in 2012, a new Westbound Express Lane will open on I-580.

Public Meeting in Livermore

There will be a public meeting on the I-580 Express Lanes in Livermore coming up. Residents will have a chance to talk directly with the people who are building and operating the Express Lanes. More information will be available shortly.
