Georgia Removes Limits On Tolls For Express Lanes

The decision on the tolls is not expected to have an immediate impact on I-75, but could affect I-85 commuters when the new policy takes effect Monday.

Georgia transportation officials have eliminated toll limits on express lanes, which could mean a more expensive commute for some motorists.

The State Road and Tollway Authority repealed restrictions on toll charges, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported . It had been set at a maximum of $13.95 to drive the I-85 lanes in DeKalb and Gwinnett counties.

The authority also repealed the 90-cent-per-mile maximum on the I-75 South Metro Express Lanes in Clayton and Henry counties.
