Turnpike Toll Hike Likely In About A Year And A Half
Pennsylvania Turnpike tolls may rise about 50 percent, though the hike is projected to come in roughly 18 months. Commission chairman Lester F. Burlein and two fellow commissioners outlined plans to modernize the 459 mile road, a project costing around 400 million dollars. They defended the rise as necessary to fund new construction, tunnels, and bypasses while noting the turnpike would remain among the cheapest per mile in the nation even after increases.
