Maybe it's changed. Friends who lived WV/VA and worked DC said the toll roads were a nightmare and they timed their drives quite carefully. Those toll roads were bought by Macquarie bank and provided a very healthy income stream.
Roads like the Dulles greenway. I read they had a requested 40% price hike rejected recently so maybe things have got better.
There could have been a lot of hyperbole in their position, but I think up to 5 or more roads around DC got bought by Aussie companies bankrolled by Macquarie infrastructure investment.
- 486sx33 2y agoI don’t remember a single toll road I had to transverse in Maryland or VA or DC and I drove north south and then south north, including around the capital and pentagon. Most tolls are in the further northern states like New York , New Jersey etc… I’ve never commuted to DC from Maryland for work though, so I can’t comment exactly what goes on there. In general road tolls are very low and reasonable in the US aside from super touristy spots IMHO WV to DC doesn’t make a lot of sense … I expect the amount of West Virginians who commute to DC to be rather non existent…
