In this video: Tolls are set to begin on a new connector near Seattle, and toll exemptions are ending for two other toll bridges in Washington state. Meanwhile, tolls have begun on a new segment of a Florida toll road near Jacksonville. Construction could take you out of your way getting to O'Hare this week. Danny Pryor reports for Turnpikes.com.
Full description: The first segment of SeaTac's new 509 Expressway corridor, connecting I-5 with the airport, will begin collecting tolls at the end of the month; the end of the month also marks the end of toll exemptions for buses and ride share services using the Tacoma Narrows and SR 520 bridges. Meanwhile, the new segment of Florida's SR 23, better known as the First Coast Expressway, is now costing you money; it had been free after it first opened. And construction will force the closure of an exit ramp from two toll roads in the Chicago area that lead you to O'Hare International Airport. That, and more, including stories from Detroit, Orlando and New York, plus this week's trivia.
