Much has been said about Kasich's proposal to entering into partnership with companies on new toll roads in Ohio.

Some have the erroneous belief that he is planning on making 71, 70 or 75 toll roads. That is not possible as that is against federal laws. A state can not turn an existing free highway into a toll road after accepting federal funds to build it and maintain it.

Kasich is talking about new roads that ODOT has had on their books for years but does not have the money for and will not ever, but the need is there.

The following toll roads are being looked at and considered.

The Woody Hayes Thruway a connecting 4 lane highway from I-71 just north of Polaris to US 23 just north of Delaware.

The John Glenn Thruway - completion of US 22 from Zanesville to Steubenville and on into Pittsburgh. Shaves roughly 1/2 hour off the drive to Pittsburgh from Columbus.

The Neil Armstrong Thruway - Finishes US 33 to a 4 lane highway to the Indiana Border and Fort Wayne.

The James Rhodes Thruway - Finishes US 30 from Canton, Ohio to East Liverpool and on into Pittsburgh.

Cost to drive on any the roads is estimated at 10 cents per mile for a car.

I can't wait to see all the economic development these roads generate. They might even open a Cracker Barrel.

You ever drive US 23 to Marion between 4 pm and 5:30 pm ?

Bob Evans said they would open on a new toll road if the state gave them $19 million.

Absolutely no one thought Kasich was talking about 71, 70 or 75 - you are making that up. Everyone thought he was talking about leasing the Ohio Turnpike, which he is.

The Woody Hayes Thruway a connecting 4 lane highway from I-71 just north of Polaris to US 23 just north of Delaware.
The John Glenn Thruway - completion of US 22 from Zanesville to Steubenville and on into Pittsburgh. Shaves roughly 1/2 hour off the drive to Pittsburgh from Columbus.

The James Rhodes Thruway - Finishes US 30 from Canton, Ohio to East Liverpool and on into Pittsburgh.
Cost to drive on any the roads is estimated at 10 cents per mile for a car.

None of these roads are currently being looked at or considered by ODOT. Again, you are making that up.

what a pipe dream! ODOT can barely take care of existing freeways much less build toll ways.

Are you suggesting the private sector is going to build these?

Yes, again, that gives Ohio the authority to lease the Ohio Turnpike. There is absolutely no discussion of new thruways. Chucky, stop makin' shit up.

Private sector built them in Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, California when they changed their state laws.

They put thousands of construction workers on the payroll to do it in the process.

You simply don't understand what the law is. Read it again. Nowhere does it refer to or say the Ohio Turnpike only.

Hostile are we :

There is no money to finsh these projects, they have been on ODOTS lists for years and ODOT is so far behind on maintenance on existing roads and bridges, they will never be able to get to them.

For years in Pennsylvania, the only toll road that existed was the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

This is what happened when they changed their laws.

You make Snooki look like a Mensa candidate. You are truly inept at basic rational thought.

ODOT, nor any real/existing Ohio business, has never discussed making The Neil Armstrong Thruway, The James Rhodes Thruway, The Woody Hayes Thruway or The John Glenn Thruway. All of these projects are entirely made up - presumably by either you or Dublin Dad.

Please continue trying though; you are as entertaining as you are tragic.

ODOT doesn't want any of these roads even though they are listed.

Keep telling yourself that.

None of these roads are listed. Similar routes are listed - but absolutely not what you initially posted. Those were troll roads, not toll roads. Stop making stuff up.
