Story I heard was early interstate was supported by tolls...


so all the NE jumped on it w/toll road systems. Later, the federal government chipped in more so highways were built with no tolls but by that time those were in the south west etc. The NE and places like Richmond kept their tolls long after the roads were paid off.

I think 295 screwed with Richmond because that's when they removed them after 295 was opened
