Tolls while traveling across the US
Hello, we will be traveling across the US to Maine from Wi. next year and going through quite a few states. We are unsure how to address the tolls we will encounter. Please advise what is the best way...

There are no toll roads in the State of Michigan as our state constitution forbids them. There's 1 toll tunnel between Michigan and Canada at Detroit and one toll bridge there between the same. 2 other toll bridges in the state between Michigan and Canada (Port Huron about 80 miles north of Detroit and the big high bridge at Sault St Marie in the Upper Peninsula. Another toll bridge is the gigantic 5 mile long Mackinac Bridge connecting the Upper Peninsula and the Lower Peninsula on I-75.
Some states toll their roads and drivers/vehicles till they're broke especially in the eastern USA! An outlandish toll is for the new not very long at all bridge and the old bridge too on I-65 over the Ohio River at Louisville KY and they scan your license plate and you'll get a bill in the mail a month or two later. A vehicle pulling an RV is tolled the same as a Semi/trailer and yes, I sure did complain to them with a phone call to KY State Highway complaint office. These are a ripoff and we'll avoid them and Louisville or Cincinnati in the future and take another road south/north over the Ohio River!
In about a year or so, the bridge over the Ohio River on I-75 at Cincinnati, OH will also be a toll bridge run by the same outfit as the Louisville I-65 Bridge so save up for it! Neither local area will get anymore of our dollars we've left so often in either city over the last 50+ years. Doing our part! Not being cheap but won't be fleeced either when we can avoid it and the traffic mess too.
