Truck-only lanes coming to I-75?
An I-75 project in Georgia would add commercial-vehicle lanes to improve travel times and mobility while enhancing safety.
According to the Georgia Department of Transportation, two barrier-separated northbound truck-only lanes would be built along a 41-mile corridor of I-75.
The non-tolled lanes would begin at the I-75/I-475 Interchange in Monroe County and end near the state Route 20 Interchange in Henry County.
All trucks with more than six wheels must use the commercial vehicle lanes unless they are destined for a local exit, GDOT said.
State transportation officials anticipate that the lanes will reduce delays for commercial vehicles and, in general-purpose lanes, during peak periods.
“The dedicated truck-only lanes modernize freight infrastructure and operations to grow the economy, increase competitiveness and improve quality of life,” Georgia DOT said.
