Plan To Underwrite Pike Conversion Gets Approval
Washington reports Congress may back a plan to convert the West Virginia Turnpike into an interstate toll road with state financing. The measure would require Virginia and West Virginia to cover most costs, with federal aid limited to highways already in the interstate system. Senate action could trigger bondholder lawsuits as the West Virginia Turnpike Commission faces debts and interest totaling tens of millions.
