West Grand Ave Bus/ HOV Lane Extension PROJECT DESCRIPTION Phase 2 is expected to open mid 2021 and intends to provide additional access and operational improvements for carpools and buses by converting an additional 2,800 feet of the existing right shoulder on West Grand Avenue between the I-580 Eastbound on-ramp and the intersection of West Grand Avenue with Frontage Road. In addition, a Multi-Use Path for bicyclists and pedestrians will be constructed on the south side of West Grand Avenue between Maritime Street and Mandela Parkway.
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is undertaking the West Grand Avenue Bus/HOV Lane Project in the City of Oakland to provide operational improvements and increase person throughput on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge (SFOBB). Construction for Phase 1 was completed in January 2020, converting the existing right shoulder at the onramp and northbound I-880 connector approach to SFOBB to a Bus/HOV lane. Time savings of up to 21 minutes were observed as a result of Phase 1.
