New Proposals to Relieve Merrimack's Toll Plight

By Sheryl Rich-Kern on Wednesday, June 20, 2007.

If a new plan goes through, Merrimack residents may get a break on highway tolls.

Town residents have long complained that they pay more in tolls than anyone else in the state.

And according to a Department of Transportation study, Merrimack drivers pay as much as 42 cents a mile on the Everett Turnpike.

That’s a lot more than the average three cents a mile.

NHPR Correspondent Sheryl Rich-Kern reports on the new plan laid out before the town council.
