Drivers using the Indiana Toll Road started shelling out more cash for fares Thursday as rates went up for the first time
in two years.
The cost for cars to drive the 157-mile road from Illinois to Ohio went from $8 to $8.80.
It's the second rate increase since the state leased the Toll Road to a private company. In 2008, the price to go the
full length of the road went from $4.65 to $8 for drivers paying cash.
Thursday's price jump won't be the last for Toll Road drivers. The state's lease with the private company allows
tolls to go up every July after next year.
Drivers using electronic toll devices have been protected from price increases. That price protection will expire in 2016,
when everyone will pay full price.
