Tiny toll road across Mud Creek saves detour
In Cedar County Iowa the Treimer brothers built a small temporary toll road across Mud Creek to avoid a six mile detour. A roadside toll booth collects 25 cents southbound and 50 cents northbound, but only about four to five dollars have been collected as motorists rarely stop. The brothers say the road has still been beneficial to locals and workers.
