Drivers express angst over I–95 tolls

The express lanes being built on Interstate 95 are expected to save commuters plenty of time.

But recent reports that it could cost up to $24 for one trip has many people wondering if the time-savings is worth that kind of money.

Under current pricing plans, the maximum a solo driver could pay to use the entire 29-mile stretch from Garrisonville to just north of the Capital Beltway during peak traffic periods is $23.20, says an official of the private corporations building the express lanes for the state.

And under the varying, congestion-priced rate structure, the cost could be less than $6 per trip when traffic is light.
