"Price? As if free highways were a bargain. The toll roads that have been built in Texas have been built under budget and ahead of schedule. That hasn't happened with state, US, and Interstate highways"

No one is doing that. The LEASE of the road is for 50-years, but can be canceled at any time for any reason by the state, which will always keep ownership and ultimate control. No different than operating leases some cities make with private companies for garbage collection.
