ATLANTA - The HOV lane on a stretch of Interstate 85 in Gwinnett and DeKalb counties will become toll lanes in about a month. <br />
<br />
The State Road and Tollway Authority says it plans to start charging the toll on either Sept. 24 or Oct. 1, depending on when the system is ready. <br />
<br />
The stretch of highway with the express lane runs from Chamblee Tucker Road in DeKalb County up to Old Peachtree Road in Gwinnett County. <br />
<br />
Drivers who want to use the lanes will have to register for a transponder, called a Peach Pass. <br />
<br />
Solo drivers will be able to use the lane for a fee, and two-person car pools also will have to pay the fee. <br />
