From the Concord Monitor:
Leaving New Hampshire could soon get a lot more expensive. Drivers headed south down Interstate 93 would pay a $2 toll in Salem under a proposal from Transportation Commissioner George Campbell.
Campbell emphasized that the plan is preliminary and toll booths likely wouldn’t be operational for at least four years – and only then after the concept won approval from both the federal government and state lawmakers.
Campbell has submitted the idea to the federal government, seeking an opinion on whether it fits the bill of a pilot program that will permit three new toll projects on the nation’s Interstate Highway System.
A $2 toll on the south-bound lanes of I-93 would generate $32 million a year, Campbell said.
