(KRON) -- A new toll has been approved for Highway 37, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) confirmed to KRON4 Thursday. The toll locations are between the Sonoma Raceway and Mare Island.

In addition to the tolls, a carpool lane will be added in both directions to what is currently a one-lane road. Bay Area city drops out of Top 10 in most-populous US cities The tolls will cost $4 and will be in effect for both eastbound and westbound travelers. The carpool lane will be free. "If we don't do this, then there is no improvements. It will save money because time is money," said John Goodwin with the MTC. The area can get extremely congested during rush hour. It can take more than 80 minutes to get through the 10-mile stretch. The MTC hopes that will shrink to 20 minutes with the new lane and tolls.
