Toll lane project on Interstate 80 between West Sacramento and Davis gets green light

The California Transportation Commission approved funding for the first phase of Caltrans’ Yolo 80 Corridor Improvements project, which would add toll lanes to Interstate 80 between Davis and West Sacramento. Officials said one High Occupancy Toll lane would be added to I-80 in each direction, which would expand that portion of the interstate from six lanes to eight lanes total. The new lanes would be free for cars with three or more people inside, but solo drivers and drivers with only one passenger would have to pay a toll fee.
