New Roads Investments

The Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission will invest up to $233 million dollars on toll road modernization, mainline pavement replacement and other projects in 2022. The construction season is set to include installation of automatic traffic recorders at Fulton County toll plazas and infrastructure upgrades at the Swanton interchange. Both are part of the toll collection system modernization on the Turnpike. The new mainline toll plaza at milepost 49 in Swanton, which was completed in 2021, is currently being used to test components of the new system. Construction of the new mainline Westgate Toll Plaza, at milepost 3.6 in Edon…and the new mainline Toll Plaza at milepost 211 in Newton Falls…are also part of the Ohio Turnpike’s new Toll Collection System…which officials say…will modernize and improve the turnpike experience for both passenger car and commercial truck customers.
