GOP Is Dumping Infrastructure Cost On The States. And Wili Sell Our Highways To Foreign Corporations

Last edited Tue Jan 30, 2018, 07:08 AM - Edit history (1)

The states will not be able to fix our highways. Expect a massive increase in toll roads owned by companies in China, Russia, Saudis, Middle East money et al. We will no longer own our infrastructure. What you pay will go overseas.

Toll for public private partnership in Denver on US36 in prime time is $5.10 from Boulder to Denver down town for one way. So if you want to use the toll lane to and from work it will be $10.20 or $50 a week or $200+ a month.

We have E470 around Denver where the tolls are substantial. The new push is for private money not necessarily from the US.

That has changing tolls. I'm not sure what the toll is based on, I don't drive that road during rush hour, but I have read that some days it is up to $45 to travel that section of road. That is one way. It is ridiculous
