    The Market for Private Toll Projects in the United States http://www.reason.org/ps140.html Publications $5 Add to Cart No. 140 May 1992 The Market for Private Toll Projects in the United States By Robert W. Poole, Jr. and John R. Guardiano EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report surveys the market for privately financed and operated toll highways, bridges, and tunnels. This market is developing because traditional public-sector funding is inadequate for the level of investment needed over the next decade or more; the Federal Highway Administration (FHwA) puts the shortfall at between $13 and $42 billion per year. Three principal market opportunities exist: new urban congestion-relief tollways, new or rebuilt intercity toll roads, and new or rebuilt bridges and tunnels. The urban market is driven primarily by the potential of offsetting the $34 billion per year in time and fuel wasted by current levels of traffic congestion. The intercity market is driven primarily by the need of trucking firms for time and cost savings, and access for over-100,000-lb. truck-trailer combinations. The primary bridge opportunity lies in rebuilding some of this nation's thousands of deficient bridges. This report identifies and quantifies those urban areas with the greatest traffic congestion costs, and those states with the highest fractions of deficient highway and bridge conditions. It also identifies those states where legislation to facilitate private toll projects has been enacted or is being considered. Prior to enactment of the 1991 federal surface transportation act, private tollway projects worth $10-15 billion were already being envisioned at the state level.

The process is often begun with the removal of earth and rock by digging or blasting, construction of embankments, bridges and tunnels, and removal of vegetation (this may involve deforestation) and followed by the laying of pavement material. A variety of road building equipment is employed in road building. After design, approval, planning, legal and environmental considerations have been addressed alignment of the road is set out by a surveyor. The Radii and gradient are designed and staked out to best suit the natural ground levels and minimize the amount of cut and fill. Roadways are designed and built for primary use by vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Storm drainage and environmental considerations are a major concern. Erosion and sediment controls are constructed to prevent detrimental effects.
