Turnpike Tolls May Be Boosted By 50 Per Cent
Pennsylvania Turnpike tolls could rise about 50 percent, about 18 months away, to fund modernization of the 460 mile road. Commission chairman Lester F. Burlein cited $400 million in new construction including tunnels and by passes, with support from commissioners Bollinger Meehan and Kerwin. The plan aims to replace curves and grades seen as severe for current traffic while keeping tolls among the cheapest in the nation.
