I-75 Expansion

Lot’s of activity is happening on I-75 these days, but what is it all for? Well, if you thought they are expanding it…you’d be right. But, if you also thought the additional lanes would be free for everybody to use…you’d be wrong. =)

It turns out that the GDoT is adding in toll lanes with adjustable pricing. So, it may be $0.10/mile when I-75 is free and clear and $0.40/mile when it’s bumper to bumper hell.

For my typical ride to work that works out to about $2-$8 for a 20 mile, congestion free ride.

Typically, I don’t like toll roads, but I’d pay $8 to get out of the I-75 gridlock.

Looking at the small maps available at the website below, it looks as though the toll lanes will begin just south of 92 and before the Glade Road On/Off-Ramps.
