LUZERNE COUNTY, Pa. — State legislators hosted a virtual forum on Friday to discuss concerns about PennDOT's proposals to put tolls on nine interstate bridges throughout the state.
The plan called Pathways Major Bridge Public-Private Partnership OR (P3) Initiative was announced last week.
The tolls would be as much as $2 each way, starting as early as 2023. PennDOT says the money collected would go to repairing these bridges, so those costly repairs wouldn't take money away from other projects.
