It is so typical - NC needs to improve I-95 and it will cost billions of dollars. When citizens in NC were questioned about pay for using interstate, overwhelming number in that survey said no. Where do they think the money comes from? The major part for Interstates has been given by the federal government, the same government they fault for being in debt.
The cost, at this time, for traveling on all of NC's I-95 after improvements would be approx. $20.00. But how many NC residents travel on it regularly all the length? Not that many. The majority of travelers are from other states, north-south route. And they are used to paying, after all VA and NJ, as well as other northeastern states have had tolls for decades. The State of NC certainly cannot afford to pay the entire cost. Neither can the federal government.
But this is the typical thoughtlessness, lack of understanding, and selfishness that is rampant in this country.
