Future
The segment of I-580 from I-680 to I-205 is undergoing significant improvements. Among the projects along this segment is the construction of high-occupancy vehicle lanes in each direction, a westbound auxiliary lane between Fallon Road and Tassajara Road, the construction of a new interchange at Isabel Avenue in Livermore, the reconstruction of several interchanges, the construction of additional truck climbing lanes for the eastward ascent to the Altamont Pass, and plans to preserve the right-of-way to accommodate a future BART extension in the median of the freeway.
There is a plan to add high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes along I-580 between Pleasanton and Livermore. Under the plan, the 12-mile (19 km) stretch between Hacienda Drive and North Greenville Road would be modified to include HOT lanes. The eastbound HOT lane is scheduled to open in 2013, while the westbound HOT lane is scheduled to open in 2014. Solo drivers would then be required to use a FasTrak transponder.
