The highway’s median shoulder, currently used when cars break down or need to pull over, will be open to drivers for a 10-mile stretch east of the Whitney Way exit to the Interstate 39/90 interchange when there is heavy traffic. About 120,000 vehicles travel the Beltline per day.
The flex lane will open during rush hour — generally from 6 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 6 p.m. on weekdays — and when the highway is congested, such as during UW-Madison football games.
Signals on the highway will tell drivers whether the lane is open for traffic. Representatives from the Department of Transportation said they hope the measure will alleviate congestion during popular hours on the road.
