Default 101 HOV Lane open

So the HOV lane on the 101 opened today, and I just had to try it out.

I've been driving by it every day as they worked on it and it's finally open at least for a few miles!!

Anyone else a first-day HOV lane driver?

They opened the NB and SB lanes between the 202 and 90th street on the Scottsdale 101.

Didn't realize they opened it. I'm going to be heading up that direction tomorrow.... I'll be sure to drive in it and report back how it feels.

I used it Monday night going to meet my dad for dinner at Scottsdale and FLW. It was nice, smooth sailing, until just before some insane traffic by the airpark area.

The SB lane actually starts a bit further south than the NB lane ends - SB begins somewhere between Via De Ventura and Indian Bend. Tonight traffic on the way home was all f'd up - a big accident and two cars were pulled over (one from the HOV side). At least the HOV was moving. Thank God for the Blue plate - I'm putting that puppy to good use!

Any idea when the 101 will be completed in Chandler from 60 to 202?
