HARRISBURG Charging tolls to help pay for selected interstate highway bridge projects under Pennsylvania’s Public-Private Partnership Transportation Program was the subject of a Senate Transportation Committee public hearing Monday.
The P3 Board voted in November to give the green light to planning for major bridge projects that rely on user fees or tolls for revenue. Major bridges are those of significance based on physical size, location and cost to replace or rehabilitate.
PennDOT is evaluating five to 10 bridge projects on interstates across the state as potential candidates for tolling, Transportation Secretary Yassmin Gramian said. She indicated the list could be available by mid-February.
