SPECIAL REPORT: Feds OK tolls for I-73 in South Carolina
Tuesday, Aug. 13, 2007 – The U.S. Department of Transportation authorized the state of South Carolina to build a portion of the proposed Interstate 73 as a toll road.
Proposed as a new interstate to run through six states from South Carolina to Michigan, I-73 was conceived to stretch from the Atlantic shore northwest to almost the Canadian border.
The South Carolina I-73 Association, formed in 2003 by South Carolina Department of Transportation officials, residents and state and federal lawmakers to promote the construction of I-73, received the approval the previous week, a U.S. DOT official told Land Line on Monday, Aug. 13.

Tolls are proposed to pay for South Carolina’s portion of the interstate, which has been estimated to cost $2 billion.
Nancy Singer, public affairs spokeswoman for the Federal Highway Administration, told Land Line that the other states along the proposed route – North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Michigan – will have the option of tolling their portions of I-73.
Singer said I-73 is the first proposal to receive approval under the Interstate System Construction Toll Pilot Program, authorized in 2005 by federal transportation legislation known as the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users – or SAFETEA-LU.
