Pennsylvania officials are moving ahead with a new way to fund major bridge rehabilitation projects and you may soon have to pay a toll to cross a major bridge in the state.
The Major Bridge P3 program has been approved by the Public Private Transportation Partnership.
It's a board established by the state legislature to find new way to finance transportation projects.
The money raised by the tolls would reimburse PennDOT which would pay private contractors to repair and maintain bridges for 20 to 30 years.
PennDOT says it needs new sources of funding with gas tax revenue falling.
So far no major bridges have been identified or how much travelers would pay thru EZ Pass or license plate bills.
