Toll Road Proposal July 19, 2007 KDBC 4 TV (El Paso) The next major freeway to be built in El Paso may not be so free after all. The Texas Department of Transportation is proposing to build more toll roads with higher fees. The money would go to future infrastructure. Toll roads would allow El Paso to rely less on tax payer money. The city could take out loans and bonds because banks know they will get their money back through the tolls. So instead of having to string out a project over a number of years, the city could do it all at one time. No tolls will be placed on any current roads, but it could affect future projects.
