Lifecycle Economic and Energy Efficiency Benefits of Managed Lane Corridors in Metro Atlanta

This project will compare the lifecycle economic cost and energy use of the Northwest Corridor Express Lane facility to the alternative of expanding general-purpose lane capacity along the I-75/I-575 corridors. Lifecycle energy will include energy embedded in materials, construction, on-road vehicle operations, and ongoing maintenance.
