MTC is partnering with Caltrans and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority to provide travel options that will improve traffic congestion on I-680 in Contra Costa County.
MTC opened Express Lanes between Walnut Creek and San Ramon in October 2017 and broke ground in October 2018 on a new project to establish a southbound Express Lane from Martinez all the way to the Alameda County line.
