The signs say "The inconvenience is temporary -- the improvements
permanent." So
are the tolls, it seems.


I think Denver to Boulder (30 miles?) got rid of their booths after that
toll road was paid off. My sister lives in Boulder - it was my first toll
road experience when I drove out for a visit. We don't have toll roads (yet)
in Minnesota.

We had a private party buy a 100 year old railroad-over-the-top-cars-on
the-bottom (single lane) swing bridge across the Mississippi River in the
80's. He charged a toll (only toll both in the state at the time).

That trusty old wooden decked bridge closed for good a few years ago. I
loved "The Old Bridge." sniff in my hometown of sniff St Paul Park -
downriver from St. Paul about 10 miles.

sniff, sniff. I'm ok, sniff

Hope I'm on the money with my Colorado Toll Freeway facts :-)
