I think you misunderstand. The toll lanes are free at the moment to everyone, but will start charging on 12-29. The toll lanes on the beltway are popular and during rush hour can cost as much as $14 to go about 9 miles, although, it is $10 to $12 most often.

I heard on WTOP that the 95 toll lanes may cost as much as $20 one way during rush hour, but that is a bargain since it is about 30 miles including the new 9 mile extension. People use it out of sheer desperation and the politicians are so proud of themselves that they squander the tax payers dollars and then claim to have no money for roads. Shameful.

I don’t misunderstand anything. I drive by this boondoggle twice a day. They are charging $1.75 each way. If you add the $4 tunnel toll 3 miles later that makes $5.75. The reason I said January is because of lighter volumes around Christmas.
