Toll Road Won’t Pay Out in Iowa
Claud Caykendall, head of the Good Roads association, told Marshalltown Kiwanis members that Iowa traffic volumes likely cannot support an East West toll road. He cited official estimates showing insufficient projected usage and warned the toll road would not replace or reduce work on rural and city primary roads. He added that even if a toll road proved self supporting, vast miles of rural primary and city extensions would still need funding and work.
