GA: HOV Lane Extension Gwinnett County Project

The recent interchange reconstruction and High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane extension at Interstate 85 in Gwinnett County, Georgia, replaced structures first built in 1962. Managed by the Georgia Department of Transportation, the project included two flyover bridges, and thirteen new bridges and 18 lane miles of new HOV lanes. Every stage of the project was completed early—clearing began January 27, 2006, and the final segment of HOV lane opened on October 22, 2008, more than two months ahead of the December 31, 2008 completion date.
