Six open lanes of road with never a traffic jam.

Excellent! Why no traffic jam?

toll fees as high as 44 cents a mile

Now it all makes sense.

In this case, it means TxDOT has agreed not to improve any roadways that run parallel to the TTC for the duration of the Cintra lease, unless those improvements had already been approved prior to the signing of the contract.

Parallel at any point? Or parallel to the entire TTC?

Later this month, TxDOT officials will be in Washington, lobbying Congress to exempt from federal taxation any income gained from dividends or partnership distributions by toll road companies.

LOL!

The state was paid $3.8 billion for the lease, which will allow Cintra-Macquarie to keep all tolls during that time, an estimated total of nearly $12 million.

I don't think so.

That’s more than 900 square miles

Out of nearly 262,000 square miles. They're paving over the state!

I guess tolerance is what you need to get into LA from a long weekend of fun on the Colorado. Even eight lanes become huge parking lots.<(•¿•)>
