The toll on the Mackinaw Bridge is going up. They will spend more painting it, than it took to build.

Tolls established never go away. False. In southeastern Virginia, the former Virginia Beach Expressway (a toll road) is now "free"; likewise the Midtown Tunnel and Downtown Tunnel were once toll facilities, now are "free".
It does NOT cost as much as they collect to keep it in good repair.
Your expertise on this matter is ... what?

I think NOT. I’m a native North Carolinian, and I know ways AROUND such stupidity. AS IF I-95 isn’t SLOW ENOUGH!!!

Oh, yes ... there used to be a toll booth on I-95 in Richmond, VA.
It's long gone.

Tolls established never go away. The SR-520 floating bridge between Seattle and Bellevue was tolled until it was paid off. I have a postcard from many decades ago showing the tollbooths. There is no hint today that they were ever there.

You’ll be happy to know that you got a bargain. No more quarters, the tolls are 4 to 9 dollars a pop and it seems like they are only a couple of miles apart.
To: Willie Green
They should just charge “South of the Border” $ 1,000.00 for every sign they have up. That should take care of any maintenance upkeep they may have.

They’ve been doing this on the northern stretch of I-95 in New Jersey since before I was born. Since North Carolina is now New Jersey South, why should we be surprised?

Also, I-95 between Richmond and Petersburg, Virginia (aka the Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike); the tolls came off that stretch of 95 a while back. I was surprised they actually did it, as there are several other bridges and short connector highways in the Richmond area (VA 76/Powhite Parkway, VA 895 between I-95 and the Richmond International Airport, the Boulevard Bridge) that still have tolls on them and probably always will.

The North Carolina Department of Transportation recently hired two consulting firms, PBS&J and Baker Engineering at a cost of $6.4 million ...Our highway department in one sentence.

Joe sixpack is scolded about living within his means, elected officials are above that as they just want to increase taxes for their reckless spending habits.
