I was living in Savannah Georgia in 1975-76. There was a toll bridge just north of Savannah on I-95. While I was living there the state got rid of the toll and the toll booths because the bridge was paid for! Imagine that happening today.

It actually also happened in Maryland (the Fee State) way back in the 1960s. The stretch of I-95 north of Baltimore up into Harford County (JFK Memorial Hwy) used to be a toll road. That was eliminated, way back when.. perhaps the last time tolls were reduced in MD.

The Sunshine Bridge in Louisiana (Named for Governor Jimmy Davis of “You Are My Sunshine” Fame) was once a toll bridge. I can remember my father paying the toll. That toll was removed when the bridge was paid for.

While I was living there the state got rid of the toll and the toll booths because the bridge was paid for! They did that in Kentucky with the Mountain Parkway, the tolls were lifted in 1986. Other parkways had their tolls lifted when they were paid for. I think there are only one or two left that still have tolls.
