tw, the first toll in Texas (that I'm aware of) was built during the 1950's which ran from Dallas to Fort Worth. Once paid off maintainence reverted to the state and toll fees were eliminated. It's now known as The Tom Landry Freeway.

The difference between then and now, is that at the time we didn't have a 'tollway authority'. Once that bureaucracy was established, no toll road has become free, nor will they. Personally, I hate tolls, and do everything I can to avoid them.

Well, I have no affinity for toll roads either. But, I don’t see another solution. I would be interested in yours.
