Phase 3A-1 of the 95 Express program consists in converting the existing High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes to High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes, as well as one lane widening in each direction, resulting in two tolled Express Lanes in each direction from south of Broward Boulevard to north of Commercial Boulevard in Broward County.
