I - 75 Northwest Corridor Express Lanes

The Northwest Corridor Express Lanes are 30 miles of reversible toll lanes along the  I-75/I-575 corridor from Akers Mill Road to Hickory Grove Road along I-75 and along I-575 from I-75 to Sixes Road. This facility includes two express lanes on the west side of the existing lanes along I-75 between I-285 and I-575. At the I-75/I-575 split, one express lane continues northbound in the median on both I-75 north and I-575.
Reversible express lanes are toll lanes where the direction of traffic flow can be changed to help manage congestion and increase capacity. While the direction of travel is set based on peak commuting hours, the direction can be changed to assist with traffic flow for major events, incidents, or hurricane evacuations to ensure the lanes flow in the direction with the greatest travel demand. Georgia’s reversible express lanes schedules are set by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and are subject to change. Daily reversals are performed by GDOT’s HERO units and take approximately 2 hours to complete.
Georgia’s Reversible Express Lanes run around the clock and the direction of the reversible lanes is determined by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT). Because the I-75 Northwest Corridor Express Lanes are reversible, the northbound and southbound directions follow an approximate schedule. We sometimes make temporary changes to the schedule for holidays, area events, or incidents. Click here for the detailed reversal schedule.

FAQ

Motorists with a registered, active Peach Pass (or a valid interoperable toll pass from E-ZPass, Sun Pass, E-Pass, and Quick Pass) can access the lanes. Vehicles with six or fewer wheels are allowed in the Express Lanes with a valid Peach Pass; tractor-trailers are not allowed. On the I-85 Express Lanes, 3 or more person carpools registered with Peach Pass with the proper carpool designation ride for free. In addition, Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFV) with the proper AFV license plate (does not include hybrid vehicles), registered motorcycles, state-registered transit vehicles and vanpools, registered law enforcement, and emergency vehicles ride for free on Georgia’s Express Lanes.

Georgia’s Express Lanes are dynamically priced, meaning as demand for use of the lanes increases, the toll amount rises to ensure that you experience more reliable trip times. The minimum toll rate for all Georgia Express Lanes is $0.10 per mile. You can expect toll rates above the $0.10 per mile minimum to vary based on travel conditions on each express lane facility rather than a predetermined rate.

Toll rates are posted prior to facility entrances, allowing you to decide whether to use the lanes. Tolls are collected electronically with no toll booths requiring you to slow down or stop. Toll rates are displayed at each lane entry point on changeable message signs. The top rate displayed on the sign is the toll to ride in the lane from the upcoming entry point to the following exit point, while the bottom rate is the toll from that entry point to the last Express Lane exit. When you exit between entry points, the toll rate will be between the two displayed rates. Once you enter, your toll rate does not change.
