		The first American turnpike to be constructed and operated by a private corporation was the Lancaster Turnpike built (1792) in Pennsylvania.
		Thereafter turnpikes were regularly private enterprises, and turnpike corporations held the leadership in the development of the American corporation system.
		Famous turnpikes included the post road from New York to Boston (now part of U.S. 1), the two roads from New York to Albany (on the two sides of the Hudson River), and the roads from Albany to Buffalo, main lines of communication with the developing West.

	History of the MTA
		The Maine Turnpike Authority (Authority) was created by an act of the Legislature in 1941 as an independent state agency and given the authority to construct and operate a Turnpike "from some point at or near Kittery to a point at or near Fort Kent".
		The Maine Turnpike was initially constructed as a 45-mile, four-lane, divided highway between Kittery and Portland (Section I), and was financed by a $20.6 million bond issue.
		In this manner, the Turnpike is different from most state agencies that must pledge the faith and assets of the state (tax funds) to borrow money.

		In 1854, the state permitted the turnpike corporations to give their roads back to the towns through which they passed, and, at about the same time, provided for turnpike franchise forfeiture as the penalty for neglecting repairs.

	Maine Turnpike (I-95)

	Safety and economics: Key reasons for widening the turnpike
		According to the Maine Turnpike Alternatives Study, prepared by Vanasse Hangen, Brustlin, Inc. (VHB) in association with RKG Associates, Inc., "the overall accident rate on the four-lane section is approximately 72.4 percent greater than the accident rate on the six-lane section" of the turnpike.

		The VHB study forecasts that such a rise in turnpike traffic will cause annual commercial vehicle travel to be delayed 50,000 hours in the year 2005, increasing to nearly 62,000 hours by 2010.
