The Toll on the W.Va. Turnpike

The Associated Press offers an overview of the West Virginia Turnpike's funding situation and road conditions, in advance of its parent agency's expected push for a toll hike.

AP took part in last week's media tour of the 88-mile highway, which focused on the effects wrought by Mother Nature and deferred maintenance. Others on the two-day review included The Charleston Gazette, the Charleston Daily Mail, The Register-Herald of Beckley, MetroNews (with photos and audio) , WOWK-TV and the Bluefield Daily Telegraph.

Update: Public Broadcasting also has an item, and audio.
