CT actually got rid of theirs. I was surprised and just a kid at the time.
My dad told me that these things, sold as temporary, never go away.
However, it sounds to me like they are seeing PA’s success with such a program. It costs about $25 to drive the PA pike from Harrisburg to Somerset and I think it’s like $32 to Pitt.
That’s one freakin’ way. And lemme tell you, the road still has traffic, still has construction.
Kentucky also got rid of their tolls. I once read that Interstate 68 started as a cooperative effort by West Virginia and Maryland to bypass the Pennsylvania Turnpike with a free limited access highway. It is a very scenic highway as well, and should have been continued into Ohio to connect with Interstate 70.
