FASTLANE funds would add approximately 8 miles of both southbound and northbound HOV lanes to US-101 from the The project would relieve congestion for both northbound and Marin/Sonoma County line to the Corona Road Overcrossing in southbound commuters and freight. It will connect to an existing 22 Sonoma County. The project includes median and outside miles of HOV to create 30 miles of continuous HOV lanes through US-101 Marin-Sonoma Narrows (MSN), Segments C2 and B2 widening to accommodate the HOV lanes, ramp Sonoma County. The project will improve safety by improving sight 4 Phase 2 California $122,000,000 $73,000,000 improvements, and bridge widenings and improvements. distance and providing standard shoulders. The project would yield congestion relief, resulting in an average increase of 57% vehicle throughput in both AM and PM peak FASTLANE funds would improve the interchange at I-80/680/12 periods, and an average of 67% reduction in vehicle delay.
