Historic tolls sign from circa 1900 at Connecticut River bridge - much sharper picture
Posted on Thu, 2010-01-28 14:35
Dec 2007 we wrote a speculative article about a picture of an historic "Tariff of Toll Rates" sign that was identified only in the Library of Congress collection as located at the Connecticut River between Vermont and New Hampshire. It was a faded overexposed black and white photograph.
We fiddled with it Photoshop and got it barely legible.

Kansas Turnpike embarks on its largest bridge rebuild
Posted on Fri, 2008-05-30 19:01
Kansas Turnpike Authority has embarked on its largest rebuild project, letting a contract for new bridges over the Kansas River in Lawrence and reconstruction of interchanges and a toll plaza on one side. Project cost is around $140m of which construction is $113m. The existing steel truss bridges are 52 years old - they go back to the original construction of the Turnpike - and are judged in need of replacement.
