We've all heard of truck lanes, but what about truck roads?
A lawmaker in Washington state is pushing for a 100-mile, trucks-only toll road from the southwestern part of the state to Interstate 90. The road would bypass Seattle and have a limited number of exits.
A private company would construct the route and collect tolls. If just half of the 22,000 trucks that roll down the highway from Seattle each day used the toll route at 60 cents a mile, or $60 for a one-way run its $5 billion price tag could be justified, according to a Washington Transportation Department study.
