Compare it with the KY Bluegrass Parkway which when it paid for itself ended the tolls.
There’s a toll road across northern Indiana that stretches to Illinois that has been around for as long as I can remember (the 60’s.) When we were kids, we called it “The Toad Road.”
Chicago has had the Dan Ryan Expressway for at least as long. Austin, Texas is putting up toll roads. I imagine they’ll be around long after I die—which I hope isn’t for another 50 years at least!
They’re never honest about why they put them up nor for how long they’ll be up. As far as I’m concerned, the way they operate in the places I’ve driven them, they’re scams.
