I-15 Express Lanes

The I-15 Express Lanes north of San Diego CA are now 20 miles, 32km long. With little fanfare they opened a new 4 mile section today at the northern end this week (2012-01-16) extending 16 miles in operation since 2009. An original 8 miles was built initially as a reversible high occupancy (HOV) lane in the 1980s.

An alien paragraph that infiltrated the RFP was at the root of problems with Utah DOT's procurement for a toll system for the  I-15 HOT Lanes, officials say. Glenn Deitiker, president of Telvent Caseta says his company believed they'd won the contract when the prices were announced.
