I-5 HOV lanes take shape
March 2010 - WSDOT recently completed widening a segment of median from Port of Tacoma Road to 54th Avenue East. Shifting I-5 traffic into the median area allows widening activities to begin on the outside shoulder and on- and off-ramps. Widening I-5 accommodates new HOV lanes.
Work started in August 2009 on this project to extend the Puget Sound HOV system into Pierce County. Crews are widening the freeway in the median to accommodate HOV lanes, or carpool lanes, in both directions of I-5 from Port of Tacoma Road to the King County line. Construction continues through 2011.
