Eternal 'pike commission needs funds as tolls linger
The 33-year Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, funded by revenue bonds, survives a Shapp administration push to abolish it. Gov. Shapp seeks to borrow state money to fund needed upgrades, risking a move to state control of tolls and the commission’s demise. Political gridlock in a GOP-led House and Senate stalls any plan. The Turnpike roadway now faces resurfacing, added lanes near Philadelphia, and a second Pocono tunnel to ease weekend bottlenecks.
