2. Update on Potential I-70 Toll

It would take six to eight years to slap tolls on the 200-mile stretch of I-70 between Highway 40-61 near Wentzville and Interstate 470 near Kansas City, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

But more obstacles loom. From the Post-Dispatch: 

Missouri lawmakers may be apprehensive about imposing tolls — a historically unpopular idea — especially in an election year.

And while Missouri has received federal permission to pursue tolls on existing interstates, at least one other state — Pennsylvania — ran into roadblocks trying to convert a major interstate highway to a toll road.

Missouri Department of Transportation officials say the conversion of I-70 to a toll road would add lanes and replace interchanges on the highway at a cost of $2 billion to $4 billion.
