@Always
a quick history lesson
The Interstate Highways….those numbered I-xxx (I-95, I-80, I-678 are examples) was originally known as the National Defense Highway System. It was devised and pushed by President Eisenhower based on his horrific experience trying to move an army convoy from the west coast to the east back in the WWI era.
The width of the roads, how much must be level straightaway, etc., was determined by the needs, of tanks, troop carriers, etc. Originally none could have toll booths which were too narrow for this equipment.
Here in CT, what is now I-95 from Greenwich to Waterford was named the CT Turnpike, paid for by bonds the Turnpike authority issued in 1958 and had tolls til the 80s. The receipts could only be used to pay off the construction bonds. Road paid off, tolls gone. Then the road officially became I-95 and federal funds accepted for maintenance and improvements I-91 and I-84 were actually built with federal money and never had tolls.
