"Section 57-3-619. Notwithstanding another provision of law, the Department of Transportation shall impose a toll along Interstate Highway 95 where it crosses Lake Marion in either Orangeburg County or Clarendon County.

Once this project is completed, all future revenues collected from the imposition of this toll must be used for the maintenance, upgrade, and expansion of Interstate Highway 95 and its interchanges."
