In Tn we have no toll roads. It is going to stay that way if I can help it.
Not entirely true. While there are no CURRENT toll roads in the Volunteer State, TDOT has already stated the new I-69 corridor being constructed in West Tennessee can only be built quickly if it is made a toll road. Tennessee has no road debt, but some of the interstate highways in the state are obsolete and there is no money in the state coffers to build new ones. Look how long it took for State Road 840 to be built around Nashville. It is an interstate highway in every way except the name, as the state did not want to go through the decades long environmental vetting process to have the route declared INTERSTATE 840.
The neighboring states of Georgia and North Carolina do have toll roads, and I am glad the toll facilities take my Florida SunPass. I keep that current for the trips down to see family and friends in the Sunshine State.
