Northwest Corridor Express Lanes Usage

In just eight months of operation, more than 4.2 million trips have been registered posting travel speeds 30% faster than the general purpose lanes.

As a result, the corridor’s rush hour has been reduced by more than one hour during both the morning and evening commutes, benefiting both Peach Pass motorists and drivers in the general purpose lanes.

The project contract with NWER was executed in November 2013, and design and pre-construction activities are underway. Design and pre-construction activities were conducted leading up to the start of project construction. Construction on the Northwest Corridor Express Lanes broke ground in October 2014. The project is anticipated to open to traffic in summer of 2018. Below are links to documents and information related to the Northwest Corridor procurement process.
