New Hampshire's Virtual Town Hall
Gov. Lynch doesn't back toll plan
"Those who oppose border tolls on Interstate 93 may be able to breathe a sigh of relief: Gov. John Lynch does not think the idea will come to fruition.
'I don't believe it's going to happen and I've never endorsed it,' Lynch said yesterday after speaking at the annual Ganley luncheon at the Boys & Girls Club of Salem.
A $2 toll between the state border and Exit 1 has been proposed as a way for the state to raise money for the cash-strapped I-93 widening project. The project, which also would replace bridges and reconstruct interchanges, is slated to cost $780 million.
Lynch said the state Department of Transportation considered many options to fund the I-93 project.
'I've never supported the tolls, but the DOT is doing their due diligence to pay for what I believe should be one project,' he said.
