The lanes use dynamic pricing, with rates rising as demand increases during peak travel times and falling at off-peak times, giving drivers the choice to pay to bypass congestion. The toll lanes are reversible to accommodate traffic flow patterns, operating southbound in the morning, and northbound in the evening. It is also the first Georgia transportation project to be procured as a design-build public-private partnership (P3) project. With a cost of $834 million, it is the largest transportation project in Georgia history. The project included three intersecting interstate highways - Interstates 75, 575 and 285 - and 39 bridges. The Northwest Corridor Express Lanes are part of a 30-mile network of optional traffic lanes created by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) to improve mobility and reduce trip times throughout the metropolitan Atlanta region.
“Many express lane users have proclaimed the benefits to them as ‘life changing.’” “The new roadway has reduced one-way commute times by as much as 45 minutes every day,” said Robert Moses, WSP project manager. Today that commute time has been drastically reduced, thanks to a comprehensive program that culminated with the recent completion of the Northwest Corridor Express Lanes.

Here’s a breakdown of other project-related road and ramp closures: Plans also call for replacing the viaduct as part of the future Downtown Access Project, which is currently in the early environmental planning stages. “The project will extend the near-term service life of the viaduct, portions of which were built almost 60 years ago.” “As a result, the 370-working-day project contract carries up to $1.38 million in early completion incentives conversely, penalties of $16,250 per day will be assessed for late completion,” said Tony Illia, NDOT spokesman. 95 that averaged 183,000 vehicles daily, pre-pandemic. Other improvements include reconstructing the Eastern and Desert Inn Road bridges, which have developed fatigue cracks in the structural steel box girders.Ĭonstruction will occur six days a week on the portion of U.S. 95 Eastern southbound offramp being widened to two lanes.

Plans call for repair and pavement overlay on the 1.2 million square foot viaduct deck surface between the Union Pacific Railroad and 21st Street, as well as reconstructing the Casino Center Boulevard offramp hinge and seismically retrofitting selected viaduct columns.Ī new southbound auxiliary lane will also be added between Interstate 15 and Eastern by lane restriping, with the U.S. The $40 million project is needed to rehabilitate the viaduct as portions of it are almost 60 years old. Both closures will last through late December 2022, the Nevada Department of Transportation announced Monday. 95 between the Spaghetti Bowl and Eastern Avenue will be reduced to two travel lanes in each direction starting Sunday for southbound traffic and June 29 for northbound traffic.
