NORTH CAROLINA BEWARE

NCTA plans to build more Toll roads in NC. Looks like it is going to be a way of life if this keeps going on unchecked. I am a bit surprised why people are not repulsed by this move to double dip into their pockets to provide roads. If more roads are going to be toll roads, does that mean that the tax funding be removed from the transportation budget. Let all private ventures pay for the roads and allow the Toll authorities have everything the way they will love to have it.

Some spans to become toll bridges

Raleigh, N.C. — In the state’s efforts to replace 8,000 bridges in 20 years, some spans are on the early list to become toll bridges.


There is a proposal to replace the Yadkin River Bridge, just east of Salisbury on I-85, with a toll bridge.

The state has 18,000 bridges. In order to replace 8,000 of them, the state Department of Transportation will need to replace 400 per year. Currently it averages 120 per year.

Toll road plan bothers EPA workers

 Bruce Siceloff, Staff Writer
Some Research Triangle Park workers are unhappy that a planned toll road through RTP will add extra miles, money and minutes to their daily commute.

Construction on the planned Triangle Parkway will close a busy half-mile extension of the Durham Freeway that links Interstate 40 to Alexander Drive.

The N.C. 147 link is part of the path to work each day for many of the 1,800 commuters at a rolling, wooded RTP campus shared by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
