The nine toll highways rescued by the State earlier this year will be free to drivers during the night, between 0.00 am and 6.00 am, from the 15th of January of 2019, reports Europa Press.
The toll of these roads during the rest of the day will go down in addition to an average of 30% since that date, according to the new rates of these pathways managed by the Ministry of Development, approved by the Council of Ministers.
