[brutus]

Friday, Oct. 12, 2007 – Officials from the Pennsylvania Turnpike Authority and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission are reportedly ready to ink a deal that will convert Interstate 80 to a toll road.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported today that officials from the two agencies are prepared to sign a 50-year agreement creating a “unique public-public” partnership to generate $116 billion.
The deal amounts to the DOT leasing the road to the Turnpike Commission to operate it as a toll road.
