Commonwealth now owns all Pennsylvania Toll Bridges
The state completed the purchase of nine toll bridges, paying 6.47 million dollars total for stock in the ten bridges. Secretary Ray F. Smock announced the payoff and noted tolls will continue until the debt is retired, freeing the bridges thereafter. The Point Marion Bridge stock settled in March with a delayed payment due to dispersed ownership.
