Are there any other toll roads on a major US interstates in the country? I think I remember one in Florida years ago.
Ahhh, typical Louisiana gonna bend the law a bit...

The way current law reads it is unlawful for a government agency to apply a toll to any stretch of interstate highway that does not currently have a toll already in place.

Here's where the "trickeration" or "bending of the law" comes into play. The rule only covers existing roadways. But as of right now a new I-10 bridge in Baton Rouge and a new I-10 bridge in Lake Charles don't exist, so the rule would not apply to those structures. But, when they are built it's quite possible tolls will be coming to those structures when construction is completed.

Drive through Oklahoma. You will get tolls every 15 fricking miles.

Tolling is how an entity gets paid for the construction and/or maintenance of a bridge if it doesn't have full funding.

I-95 in Virginia between Richmond and DC used to be tolled, but I think they took that off.
The northern part of the New Jersey turnpike is on I-95.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike covers parts of I-70, I-76, and I-95.
The Ohio Turnpike covers parts of I-76, I-80, and I-90.

I35 in Kansas from the OK border to Wichita is tolled, as well as up in Minnesota. I10 in LA is toll for part of the way. A lot of 95 up in NE is. you cannot get from Texas to Tulsa OK without paying a toll that i know of.
the 13 miles of coastline on 95 that New Hampshire has running parallel with the ocean is tolled in it's entirety.

Yeah the great city of Vinton charges a toll in the form of hyper aggressive speed enforcement on it’s empty 2 mile stretch of highway

There is one between Kentucky and Indiana at Louisville on Interstate 65 or you can detour through downtown Louisville risking your life to use the free bridge.

Toll doesn't make any sense, nor does the rendering of a really tall bridge. Only boat traffic is barge.

Illinois is loaded up with tolls - 88, 35, 294.
Kansas has tolls on Interstate 35
Basically every bridge in the northeast is tolled.
Also, a toll is a tax. They can say truckers will pay it and blah blah blah, but that costs gets added on to your price at the register regardless of what you're buying.

About a 15 mile stretch of I 39 from northern Illinois into Beloit Wisconsin. And I 294 in Chicago. Illinois gets the people from Wisconsin one way or the other.

Drive from about 50 miles West of Chicago to Boston on I-90 and get back to me.
