"A toll feasibility study for I-40 from North Little Rock to West Memphis was conducted in 2014. Straessle said that although it turned out to not be feasible if only one additional third lane was tolled, it would be feasible if all three lanes were tolled."

Wait - earlier in this piece, it said that only "NEW" highways/projects could be tolled.... yet I-40 has existed for a very long time - and has been the recipient of a whole lot of taxpayer-funded expansion and improvements over the years. I am no fan of taxpayers paying for something, then charging another tax to use said road, when we are still paying ongoing taxes (fuel/highway taxes on every gallon we buy) to keep up those roads.
