One good thing about toll roads is their cost and how fast they get built.
A regular interstate may take 30 years and billions of dollars to build 100 miles of road.
Make it a toll road and it will be in at a quarter of the cost and within 5 years.
Toll roads never die. Turner Turnpike, between OKC and Tulsa OK, was supposed to be a free road after the 1960s. The income is so great it is still a packed toll road.
The only thing missing from Oklahoma toll roads are rest stops. They start with several, then the homos infest them, then they are bulldozed.
Depends on the state.
In Kentucky the tolls come off as soon as the bonds come off. All of Kentucky’s toll roads are now toll free. It only has two toll bridge crossings, both at Louisville for I-65 and Future I-265 (IN-265/KY-841). However a Third one will be added near Evansville, IN to carry I-69 across the Ohio River.
Conversely, in Pennsylvania, the PA Turnpike Authority now has to give a large chunk of change every year to pay for Mass Transit, which means toll are higher because the road still has to be maintained.
