Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell would like U.S. DOT clearance to toll I-95 along the North Carolina border.
Virginia did receive the federal go-ahead to charge motorists on I-81 in 2003, and McDonnell would like to transfer that approval to the I-95 route.
“After careful review of the Commonwealth [of Virginia]’s transportation needs, I believe the ability to toll Interstate 95 at the border will quickly enable the Commonwealth to begin addressing some of our greatest areas of concern,” McDonnell said in a statement.
