Toll questions still linger 2 years after Border West Expressway opening Published Toll questions still linger 2 years after Border West Expressway opening EL PASO, Texas -- It's been nearly two years since the Border West Expressway opened. Despite there being toll gantries up, it's still a toll free road. But the question remains: Will there or will there not be toll lanes in the Sun City? El Pasoan Kay Gamboa is among those concerned about the added expense for driving in toll lanes. “I was hoping they would never start charging people," she said. "I know a couple of years back they wanted to institute that program but it was not successful, and every time I take it I get a little nervous that maybe this one time they are going to start charging.”
