The tolls should go once the cost is paid, as happened on what is now I-30 between Dallas and Ft Worth.

I oppose any road that allows Mexican trucks etc to not encounter Customs & Immigration until somewhere in Kansas - as I posted earlier, no offramps until then!

Why was a Mexican company awarded the contract to become operator of the project ?

Cintra is Spanish, not Mexican.

Cintra is a Spanish firm, one of whose owners/lead investors is His Most Catholic Majesty himself, King Juan Carlos of Spain.

Another group investing heavily in these U.S. road-infrastructure and tolling projects is Macquarie Group, an Australian private-banking and money-running outfit with ultra-quiet investors from all over the world.
