Interstate 15 between 600 N in

Future HOT lanes (including studies underway)
California
San Francisco Bay area
The Bay area is planning an entire network of HOT lanes.[8]
Los Angeles county has a plan in place that has been approved by the California legislature. [14] They have received a grant for $213.6 million from the
USDOT(US Department of Transportation). This plan will be implemented in two phases, although it is currently unknown when those phases will take place. [15]
Both phases are for the conversion of HOV lanes to HOT lanes.
Interstate 10 Phase 1: Convert the San Bernardino Freeway HOV lanes from Alameda St/Union Station to the intersection with
I-605. Phase 2: From I-605 to
SR 57: in design; from SR-57 to the
San Bernardino county line. [15]
Interstate 15 Extension of already-existing HOT lanes. "Stage 3": From
SR 163 to
SR 56(Ted Williams Pkwy) (under construction). "Middle Stage A&B": from
SR 56 to W. Bernardo Dr. (under construction; partially complete). "Stage North": From W. Bernardo Dr. to
SR 78 in Escondido. [16]
Florida
Interstate 95 will be done in phases. Phase 1A was opened 12/2008. Phase 1B is expected to launch in 2009 on southbound lanes between the Golden Glades Interchange and I-395, and on northbound lanes between
I-395 and
I-195. Phase 2, from the Golden Glades Interchange to
I-595 in Broward, is expected to launch in 2010. [3]
Georgia
Conversion of the existing HOV lanes to HOT lanes on
Interstate 85 has been approved to relieve the congestion in the DeKalb County portion of the Northeast Atlanta region. This would be done from Chamblee-Tucker road south of the I-285 junction to Old Peachtree Road in Gwinnett County. HOT lanes on I-85 are expected to be in service by 2011.[17]
Interstate 35W Segment 3: From
SR 65/
I-94 split to 42nd St. This will be a Priced Dynamic Shoulder Lane (PDSL) (a type of HOT lane). Scheduled to open 9/2009. Segment 2: From 42nd St. to 66th St. This is an HOV to HOT conversion project. Scheduled to open 2010. Segment 1: From 66th St. to Burnsville Parkway (see
Burnsville, Minnesota). This is an HOV to HOT conversion project. Scheduled to open 2011. [20]
Interstate 77 Charlotte, from
I-85 to
SH 2158 (Griffith Street) at Davidson, Mecklenburg County. Extend existing HOV Lanes, convert HOV Lanes to HOT Lanes and evaluate shoulder use lanes. Under study. [22]
South Carolina
All South Carolina projects are under study.
Interstate 77 From the intersection with
U.S. 21 to the
North Carolina state line. This highway portion is very heavily used, and so HOT lanes is one option being studied to relieve congestion. [23]
Interstate 26/
Interstate 126/
Interstate 20 Projections are that traffic on these interstates will double by the year 2030. A corridor taskforce has been in place to study all the possibilities for managing the anticipated traffic growth. All these could accommodate HOT lanes. [23]
These are the only segments that would support widening for HOT lanes:
A 7.22 mile segment of I-26 from the intersection with
I-126 to the intersection with
U.S. 321.
A 6 mile segment of I-20 east of
I-77 to the northeast section of
Richland County. No funds are currently available.
These segments could not be widened, but are still being considered for HOT lanes:
A 14.45 mile segment of I-20 from the northeast section of
Richland County to the intersection with
U.S. 378.
Interstate 385 A 6.45 mile segment of
I-385 from east of
I-85. This segment could be widened for HOT lanes; however, no construction funds are currently available. [23]
Texas
Loop 1604 There have been discussions of adding HOT lanes to this road in the future. [24]
U.S. 281 There have been discussions of adding HOT lanes to this road in the future. [24]
Interstate 10 Extending the I-10 HOT lanes from
SH 6 in Harris County to
FM 359 in Waller County (under study). [25]
Interstate 635 From east of Luna Road to Greenville Avenue (under study). [26]
Interstate 35E From south of the
Loop 12/I-35E split to south of Valwood Parkway, including the reconstruction of existing facilities, construction of frontage roads and the addition of managed lanes. [26]
SH 121/
SH 183 (Fort Worth district) Proposed improvements are planned to include three general purpose lanes in each direction with three HOT lanes in each direction for a total of twelve lanes with frontage roads for future traffic volumes. Under study. [27]
Interstate 35W From Wautauga Ave. to Meacham St. in Fort Worth. Under study. [28]
Interstate 495 between
Springfield and just north of the Dulles Toll Road in
Mclean.[30] Officials of the
Virginia Department of Transportation(VDOT) signed an agreement with two private companies in April 2005. A contract was finalized on December 20, 2007, and construction began in the summer of 2008.[31]
Interstate 95/
Interstate 395 corridor. VDOT signed an interim agreement with a private company on 24 October 2006 to supply HOT lanes between
Massaponax and
Arlington. [32] A start date has been set for the northern part of this project: mid-2010, pending commercial and financial arrangements. No completion date has been set.[33]
Current ETL lanes
There are no ETL systems in operation in the United States today.
