Bay Area Motorists Complain About The Pace Of US 101 Express Lanes Construction

KGO-TV reports, the next segment of US 101 express lanes under construction in San Mateo County won’t open until February or March 2023, according to a project manager’s latest report. “The contractor opted to do things out of sequence and as a result, had to actually take corrective actions that added time to the schedule,” says Leo Scott. Much of the remaining work takes place at night and involves installation and testing of the toll system. According to KGO, commuters stuck in traffic that has returned to pre-COVID levels are growing frustrated and want to know why the lanes can’t be opened temporarily during peak travel periods.
