Document Description
The California Department of Transportation will improve freeway capacity and transit opportunities on Interstate 15 by enhancing both freeway and high occupancy vehicles (HOV) facilities. A strategy called Managed Lanes is being pursued to provide capacity for buses and carpools. In addition, if approved by FHWA, the value-pricing program would allow single occupancy vehicles (SOV) to utilize excess capacity on the lanes. The managed lanes will be constructed within the existing freeway median, though some outside widening is required. Some new right-of-way will be required for temporary construction easements, grading and drainage easements, retaining wall footing easements, and soil-nail and tieback easements. There will be no acquisition of homes or businesses. On the four proposed managed lanes, a moveable median barrier will be utilized that will allow for additional traffic lanes in the peak direction. Traffic will flow in both directions with a minimum of one lane. Fixed concrete barriers will separate the managed lanes from the main lanes with access openings at two to three mile intervals. Four direct access ramps are also proposed.
