The idea of making I-80 a toll road is not new, in fact, it's been under discussion since at least 2010 when the state conducted a study of the concept.
The idea of making I-80 a toll road in Wyoming has been discussed for at least a decade, but so far no such proposal has won final approval from state lawmakers.
The senator says one reason he supports the idea is that the interstate was closed much of the winter, often preventing lawmakers from making it home for the weekend.
