75 years later, the Maine Turnpike speed limits are higher, the highway is wider, and tolls are collected electronically. It wasn't always that way, though.
No, you really DID read that correctly. According to the KJ, the actual number is closer to $824,000 and consists primarily of tolls due from people out of state.
My wife drove on our excursion to the southern tip of Maine yesterday and was happy to see the Maine Turnpike E-ZPass I'd been talking about worked as well as I said it did!
I submitted the info for my E-ZPass from the Maine Turnpike on Wednesday Morning. Thursday, it was in my mailbox. That's pretty impressive, huh? I've long envied friends who bypass the lines to go zipping through the E-ZPass Only lane. Now, I'm doing it!
