We’re taking a winding route from Cleveland to Johnson city TN, going by way of Mortgantown and Elkins WV. The best route there was Ohio to PA turnpike, get off at Cranberry PA and take I 79 South. We hadn’t went this way in years and were pleasantly surprised to see open tolling lanes (in PA) at the OH border. There are no tollgates in Cranberry… so, worried that we missed something (and didn’t want our ez pass charged full length tolls, I looked it up online… and discovered East bound pays $3.80 or so and west bound is no tolls at the OH border. So… since we’re going one way (East) we paid a high price for the few miles we traveled the PA turnpike… must remember this if we ever go this way again. I might look for a different, no toll route.
But hey, it was the first time we used the PA EZ pass in PA since getting it in 2007. And the open tolling lanes are nice. The last time we went east (about 6 or 7 years ago) we sat at the tollgate for an hour.
