More toll lanes proposed for I-85 in Gwinnett
GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. -- Ten miles of new toll lanes are proposed for Interstate 85 in Gwinnett County. The new lanes would be constructed north of the existing I-85 Express lanes and be located entirely within Gwinnett County.
Lanes would begin on I-85 at Old Peachtree Road and would extend to Hamilton Mill Road.
A public meeting and open house sessions are scheduled for Saturday, Monday and Oct. 2.
"These lanes will be designed to improve traffic flow, increase options for motorists and transit and registered vanpool customers, provide reliable trip times, create jobs and bring economic benefits to the residents of this region," the Georgia Department of Transportation says on its website.
And like existing I-85 toll lanes, the new lanes would be managed by a variable priced tolling system.
