What government DOESN’T want people to know about them is that they never get paid off and remain an additional bureaucracy. Despite the cliams to the contrary, tax dollars are initially used to fund the construction of the toll road and, once it is built, the money the road generates is supposed to be repaid to the taxpayers.

Hmmmm .... yes.

That explains why I-95 through Richmond is still a toll road. And I-264 from Norfolk to Virginia Beach is still a toll road. And why the Elizabeth River Tunnels in Norfolk are still toll facilities.

Nope. Tolls never get lifted.

Never ever.

But, the worst trick about toll roads is that drivers who use the road get to pay extra to sit in the eventual traffic jam versus the drivers on the non-toll roads.

Yep. The Dulles Greenway and Dulles Toll Road are far and away the abolute most crowded, parking-lot at rush hour roads in all of northern Virginia. They're FAR worse than I-66 and I495.

I95/I395 is much busier than the Greenway/Dulles tollroad complex by far ~ and the Hotlane additive is really not going to improve traffic flow.

Soon as McDonnell is out of office the secret underground on the Beltway is going to begin blowing the accesses so we get our HOV lanes back!
