Carpooling is up and congestion is down along the I-580 corridor in the Tri-Valley area, according to a new report card for the I-580 express toll lanes that opened up last February.
Data from the first year of operations of the I-580 Express Lanes shows what commuters have experienced: less congestion, greater reliability and expanded choices through the Tri-Valley. Since the new lanes opened in February 2016, more than 7.6 million trips have been made, with an average of approximately 30,000 trips per day. Average speeds in the express lanes are on average 10 miles per hour faster than the general purpose lanes along the same corridor.
