"SAUSALITO, Calif. (KGO) -- Some long-awaited relief from some of the worst bottlenecks on Highway 101 in the North Bay. On Monday morning, Caltrans officially opened new HOV lanes on both sides of the freeway between Sausalito and Windsor. The new lanes are part of a major project aimed at improving commute times. It's part of the the Marin-Sonoma Narrows project. The new lanes are at the the Northbound section of Highway 101 just north of Atherton Avenue and Southbound, just below Kastania Road."
""They got it done on Monday morning, by around 5 a.m., so crews had worked over the weekend, even on Sunday, to get this done, because there was a little bit of a rain in the forecast," O'Donnell said. Now with that work finished, drivers can now travel three continuous lanes through the stretch that's been known as the narrows. "Moving forward, you have three lanes all the way through," O'Donnell said, "So that's now 52 miles of continuous HOV lanes.""

The additions include lanes north of Atherton Avenue and south of Kastania Road, allowing drivers to travel three continuous lanes through the narrows. Crews completed work over the weekend to avoid forecast rain and opened the lanes early Monday. The corridor now offers 52 miles of continuous HOV lanes. New carpool lane hours are 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., and clean air vehicle solo use in HOV lanes ends October 1.
