VTA, as part of its Silicon Valley Express Lanes Program, has combined the SR 85 and US 101 Express Lanes projects in Phases 3 and 4. Phase 3 will implement the first Express Lanes on US 101 in Mountain View and Palo Alto. Phase 4 will implement the first Express Lanes on SR 85 in south San Jose.
The Phase 4 project on SR 85 and US 101 in south San Jose will convert existing single carpool lanes to Express Lanes at the following locations:
- SR 85 from the US 101/SR 85 Interchange in San Jose to SR 87, including the existing US 101/SR 85 Direct HOV to HOV Connector Ramps and the approaches to/from US 101
The improvements include the following work elements:
- Re-striping of the existing lanes;
- Installation of express lane signs and sign poles along the corridor;
- Installation of electronic toll rate signs, toll readers, and other tolling equipment;
- Installation of a video enforcement system, closed circuit cameras, and other equipment;
- Construction of California Highway Patrol (CHP) enforcement areas;
- Reconstruction of concrete barriers and metal guard railings;
- Installation of communication and electrical services for the tolling system;
- Installation of lighting at various locations.
