Once the bond debt is paid off over the next 30 years or sooner . . . they will just keep milking that cash cow. Is there any case of a bonded toll road going free after the bond is paid?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Yes. Kentucky’s parkways became toll-free, one by one, as each parkway’s bonds were paid off.

Is there any case of a bonded toll road going free after the bond is paid?

Yes, in Texas, once upon a time, we actually had roads that went from being tolls to being free. Then the Texas Tollway Authority was established. Such an event will never be allowed to occur again.

I hate toll roads and avoid them like the plague. Unfortunately in some areas it is really hard to do so unless you know the area pretty well. The toll roads around here aren't really any less congested than the freeways, they are just lots more expensive to drive on.

GA 400 here in ATL. But it took a decade or more after the road was paid for, and a lot of political pressure.
