A set of eastbound and westbound bridges on Interstate 80 in Clarion County are among nine proposed tolling locations across Pennsylvania.

The I-80 Canoe Creek Bridges over State Route 4005 (Tippecanoe Road) and Canoe Creek are on the list of spans identified by PennDOT for tolling. Under the plan, the toll would be $1 to $2 for passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles would pay a higher toll based on the number of axles.

The Venango Chamber joins partners in Clarion County to keep our businesses and the public informed and provide direction in opposing the planned tolling. Those who wish to join us can visit venangochamber.org/bridge-tolling for ongoing updates and links to resources.

Representative Lee James comments: “This is a plan that would take more money out of Pennsylvanians’ pockets, which is bad for the Commonwealth. No matter if it’s for work or leisure, we all travel in some fashion. We’ll all pay a steep price under this plan if it were to become reality and no one deserves that.”

Join the chambers of commerce and our partners across the state of Pennsylvania in preventing barriers to business.
