    Quick question from a flood victim: I heard toll roads are free for now. When does that end?

    I'm surprised that I can find zero info on this anywhere. I believe I heard on the radio that it was through the weekend, but I can't verify it.

    Tolls are free until they say they arent.
    Theyll give at least 24 hours advanced notice.

    HCTRA is closed until Tuesday. So you're probably safe to use them all weekend.

    They said they'll give 24hrs advance notice and haven't said anything yet. I suspect they'll keep it going until the beltway south opens and/or the unnecessary traffic on I-10 west goes away. As far as I can tell it seems to be completely caused by rubbernecking.
