The Marietta Daily Journal – State prepares for $3.5M demolition of GA400 toll booths

ATLANTA — State officials say they plan to stop collecting tolls on Ga. 400 in late November and begin dismantling the giant toll plaza in January.

In 2012, Gov. Nathan Deal announced the end of the 50-cent tolls and said the toll booths — near the northern edge of Atlanta — would be removed.

“I acted as quickly as the state’s contractual obligations allowed to bring down the Ga. 400 toll,” Deal said in a release. “I pledged during my campaign for governor that I’d bring down the toll as the state promised commuters it would do when it opened the toll more than two decades ago. Today’s announcement is a big step toward making that happen.”
