Charlotte is about to get its first toll road. It appears the deal is done despiteongoing opposition. A private company will build toll lanes on I-77 and have the rights to operate them for 50 years. This costly project will include the replacement of several bridges to accommodate the lanes. We talk to North Carolina Department of Transportation officials about the toll lanes.
