Is the Pennsylvania Turnpike the most expensive in the world?

Aug 26, 2024, 19:57 PM
Question : Is the Pennsylvania Turnpike the most expensive in the world?
Sort order :

No, the Pennsylvania Turnpike is not the most expensive toll road in America or the world. Our rates are 20% below average and are in the mid-range for U.S. tolling entities. While there have been surveys falsely claiming the Pennsylvania Turnpike is the most expensive in the world, those surveys do not follow industry measures and metrics, make unlike comparisons using unrealistic routes and ignore system variables including one-way bridge tolls and size or scope of tolling facilities. Research and thorough data analysis of toll rates per-mile rates across the United States show that the Pennsylvania Turnpike’s toll rates are in the middle range when compared to other toll roads, bridges and tunnels in the United States. See the chart below for more details.
