Default Toll Road
They are talking about making I 66 a toll road. Hell I would pay a toll if they would fix I 95. That thing sucks.

I95 as a toll road discussed here.

Interesting. How MUCH of 66 - the entire length from DC to I81?

I pay 8 bucks in tolls every time I use my boat, I drive to PA to MD on 95 and the road still sucks.

Cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Annapolis and it will cost you $12.00 with a tandem axle!! All that toll money and the east bound bridge is STILL falling apart!! The MDTA SUCKS!!

The state you are in does not seem to matter. We pay a road tax/gas tax for these repairs and upkeep. Just goes to show you the governemnt sucks no matter where you are.

I95, in VA, was a toll road but it was such a mess they removed them.

Back to the future I guess. I sure hope not.
