Westbound I-80 Express Lane in Vacaville Slated to Open as Temporary HOV Lane Ahead of Formal Launch in Late 2025
Temporary HOV Lane Scheduled to Open on or around Monday, March 10
SOLANO COUNTY – Caltrans and partner agencies are tentatively scheduled to open the new westbound Interstate 80 (I-80) express lane running between Vacaville and Fairfield as a temporary HOV lane on or around Monday, March 10.
Roadway construction on what will become a new express lane is ongoing and electronics and hardware for collecting tolls are still being installed. In the meantime, this lane will be available to vehicles with two or more people on board on weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
The new HOV lane runs on westbound I-80 from the Interstate 505 interchange in Vacaville to Airbase Parkway in Fairfield.
As work is still in progress, we ask motorists to please be mindful of their speed for the safety of our workers. We expect to formally launch the completed express lane by late 2025.
