An interstate highway is a federal road. Where does the state of Alabama get the right to charge a toll for a federal highway?

An interstate hiway belongs to the state but is part of the Federal Hiway system. The road must be built and maintained to federal Standards.

The issue was debated and determined with the construction of the first federal peoject known as the National Road. It was successfully argued that the constitution did not provide for federally financing roads. That was left to the states. The issue was argued in the early 1800's

The first road ran from Cumberland Maryland to Vandalia Illinois
