    Coquihalla Toll is no more

    Just heard it on the radio that as of 1:00 this afternoon there will be no more toll on the Coq.
    It's about time IMO.

    Wow. I remember driving with Dad and asking when will we not have to pay, he replied "you will be paying when you are driving." That was like 20 years ago.
    You won't get anywhere standing still. Don't be afraid to take steps.

    Tolls coming off the Coquihalla
    Penticton/CKNW(AM980)

    9/26/2008

    A surprise announcement from Premier Gordon Campbell today.

    Campbell told delegates at the union of BC municipalities convention tolls on the Coquihalla highway are coming off immediately.

    "How many of you are intending to take the Coquihalla going home? How many of you are leaving this afternoon? Well I think you're gonna like this. By 1:00 this afternoon the tolls on the Coquihalla are going for good."

    Campbell says tolls have nearly paid for the entire 848 million dollar cost of the Coquihalla, which first opened in 1986.

    But Campbell also told delegate’s tolls on the new port Mann Bridge will be in place for 35 years once the crossing is completed.

    Wasn't there an anouncement a few years ago saying that the tolls had paid for it? I seem to remember that. Can anyone help with that? Old age you know.

    with the removal of the toll I have to wonder what else is coming down the pipe, this was a huge cash cow I don't think they will let go with out implementing somthing else, OR we will hear more and more about the new ski hill proposed for the summit area
