You think the tollway is funded by tolls? It's not. Private bonds are sold to the inner circle. My father worked for the DOT for 40 yrs and knew. Additionally, the initial cost of all tollways is paid for by local tax dollars. Toll monies collected far exceed repair and maintenance costs. State money (taxes) also goes to plowing, salt etc otherwise the DOT would not have trucks on the private tollway.
Yeah in Illinois the tollway was supposed to be paid off in 30 years. "Toll Free in '73" was the slogan. Here we are in 2021 and the tolls are still here. There is just no excuse for all of these taxes and fees anymore.
355 was paid for by taxes first and promised to be $0.20 when opened and toll-free after a couple years "once paid for". The day it opened it was $0.50 and 25 years later the toll is still charged.
