Toll road proposals reviewed
By Times Staff Writer
Published February 16, 2007
TAMPA - The Tampa-Hillsborough Expressway Authority interviewed two firms bidding Thursday to build the long-awaited East-West Road that would connect New Tampa to Interstate 275. But it's unclear whether a deal can be made with either company. One firm says it will still need millions in public subsidies every year to break even on the road - a potential deal breaker. The other firm is asking for no public money but would charge tolls starting at $1.50 and rising to $2.75 in five years. A review panel will recommend one to the agency's board Feb. 26.
