Construction of a new I-680 Northbound Sunol Express Lane will begin in early 2018. This first phase of the project will widen the existing freeway and construct a new ~9-mile express lane and associated improvements on northbound I-680 between Auto Mall Parkway and SR-84 in Alameda County, providing congestion relief in the corridor. The project also includes upgrades to the adjacent southbound I-680 Sunol Express Lane, modifying the access configuration from controlled access to a near continuous access configuration, similar to that on the I-580 Express Lane corridor through the Tri-Valley. https://www.alamedactc.org/news_items/view/21984

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.

03/16/2017

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.
