Re-striping begins for HOT lanes along I-15
The express lanes also known as HOT lanes, or "high-occupancy toll" lanes will be available for use by individual drivers who are willing to pay a fee to use the lanes. Buses, motorcycles, environmentally friendly vehicles and car poolers can still use the lanes free.
Work to convert the I-15 carpool lanes into express lanes began Monday night at 600 North in Salt Lake City. Crews will be re-striping the southbound lanes, a half-mile stretch at a time, until they reach the Salt Lake/Utah County line. Then they will turn around and work on the northbound side of I-15.
That process is expected to take until mid-August and the express lanes are scheduled to open Sept. 1. All of the work will take place between the hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. on Monday through Thursday nights. Some work also will take place on Friday nights.
UDOT crews in Utah County will be re-striping lanes there. That portion of the project has not yet begun, said UDOT representative Bethany Eller. Twenty-six miles of the carpool/express lanes are located in Salt Lake County. The other 12 are in Utah County.
