Almost two years ago, I wrote that the state of Georgia had received funds to start a toll booth project on I-85. The project would potentially "tax" drivers in the HOV lane, making it possible for anyone to use this express lane as long as they were willing to shell out.
Today the AJC reports that the plans have been set in motion to make this toll booth a reality. By next summer, drivers should have the option of paying a toll to speed ahead in the express lane. The toll will change based on how congested the roadways are.
The first planned express lane will run from around Spaghetti Junction to Old Peachtree Road. Those used to using the existing HOV lane for carpools will also have to pay up, so there will no longer be a true HOV lane on this stretch of highway.
Construction is expected to start within a few weeks.
