Bumping this one because I have proof this is a different universe!

I am currently en route from Arizona to Wi, via Iowa. I am taking I 35 north from OKC through KC to Des Moines. I would swear I have taken this route at least twice before.

But this time, I35 is a toll road! Wikipedia says it has _always_ been such. I would have remembered paying tolls, I hate toll roads. According to Wikipedia, it has only been fully automated since last year, after my most recent trip. But I never got a bill, if it were automated then.

I’m stumped! There’s no other freeway-way to get there.
