The tentacles of the Security and Prosperity Partnership are long.

I don’t think these jackals can do it.
The Interstate Highways are owned by the Feds, the states take money to maintain them, construction is paid on a 10%/90% formula, the states contribute 10% and the Feds 90%.

Study the long and less-than-illustrious history of the Massachusetts Turnpike and you’ll know that *nothing* is impossible when it comes to this nation’s highways.

I believe it is the case that if a State collects Federal funds in order to maintain an Interstate highway then they are not allowed to charge a toll for passage.

Connecticut maintained toll booths on I95 for years until so many folks kept slamming into the collection booths and creating deadly fireballs that they finally gave up the practice.

That was not because it was not lucrative, au contraire, but more because it was damaging political reputations and costing votes. They stopped the ridiculous 55 MPH speed limit as well years later, for similar reasons.

Here in Massachusetts the voters are so abominably stupid and/or self interested that the I90 highway (Mass Turnpike) tolls continue to go up despite the fact that the original bonds were paid off decades ago.

I have been saying the same thing about paying tolls on I95 through Delaware for years. No one listens.
