The FHA selected North Carolina, Virginia and Missouri. But officials say if one of those states drops from the program, the I-15 corridor may be reconsidered.
ADOT looked at the toll road program as one option for funding $250 million in bridge repairs and pavement improvements to I-15.
Mohave County officials say tolls could cost motorists about $3 and truckers even more to drive through the section of I-15 that cuts through the Arizona Strip.
