Concerns Voiced at Meeting on Toll Road

WTOP Radio's Adam Tuss reports today that as the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority gets ready to take over control of the Dulles Toll Road from the Virginia Department of Transportation, some area residents are concerned about a increase in the toll rates.

The current tolls are 75 cents at the main toll plaza, with an additional 25 cents for each extra axle. The toll is 50 cents at all other tolled on/off ramps, plus 25 cents for each additional axle. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority says tolls will not go up immediately.

Another meeting will be held tonight, Thursday, July 26, 2007, at 7 p.m. at the Sheraton Premier Hotel at Tysons Corner, 8861 Leesburg Pike, Vienna, Virginia. (see yesterday's post for more details)
