The toll is scheduled to be suspended from 8 p.m. Friday to 8 p.m. on July 1.
According to the AJC, Ga. 400 motorists collectively pay about $54,000 per day in tolls. Here is an Atlanta Journal Constitution article on the toll suspension, which also allows SRTA to technically fulfill a promise to stop the tolls after 20 years when the Ga. 400 extension through Buckhead first opened. The tolls were continued to pay for construction of the I-85-Ga. 400 connection in Buckhead.
