    Is this normal? I am not sure if there are more tolls coming from my trip through there or if that is all of them just marked as "11 Cont Chain Bridge" on my bestpass report. This is ridiculous either way. I took the express lanes of 66 Eastbound to 495 express, to 395 to get to Alexandria.

    Sure they have a sign that says "higher toll for larger vehicles" but nothing to indicate in any way that the toll will be hundreds of dollars. Then I googled and found you have to go to some website to see what the toll rate even is. Apparently for a semi truck its a class 10 vehicle (3 axles or more) and the toll is 10x the toll for cars? That is highway robbery, man.

    That might even have the PA Turnpike beat.

    Yes it is!!!! I came off of 495 onto I-66W and took the toll lane to US-29..... this was about 430 on a Friday and it costs $180 for an 6-7 mile run. I called and they couldnt even give me a toll calculator or justify how they charge that much because there are no signs stating how much per axle or mile or whatever the cost was!!

    Geez... And here I thought Colorado's $25 surcharge for over 3 axles was robbery!

    "It’s up to you whether to use the two-lane 66 Express Lanes or the three non-tolled general-purpose lanes of I-66." Big signs stating express lanes are TOLL
    I go down to Newport News but only on loads that have time for congestion or allow me to go down after 11:00pm. Same coming back north. Do not like Baltimore/DC
