cents at the SR 653 ramp toll plazas, and 25 cents at the US 60 ramp toll plazas. History The original section of Powhite Parkway from I-195 to SR 150 within the city of Richmond was constructed by the Richmond Metropolitan Authority and opened in January 1973. The toll road's extension southwest beyond SR 288 in Chesterfield County was constructed by VDOT and opened in November 1988. Electronic toll collection began on the Powhite Parkway in 1999 when the Smart Tag system began operating at the highway's toll plazas. The freeway became E-ZPass accessible when Smart Tag was absorbed into the E-ZPass system in 2005. The Richmond mainline toll plaza was reconstructed with staggered plazas for each direction and Express E-ZPass lanes in 2008. Long-term plans exist for an extension of Powhite Parkway to US 360 near Skinquarter.
