Google maps is saying there's toll roads. Being someone that lives on the west coast, toll roads are pretty rare.

My question is, it looks like the toll roads are in Illinois and Virginia. I have no idea how much these things cost, so I want to be prepared with coins or whatever I need ahead of time.

It looks like I could do a route around the tip of Virginia, however I have no idea if that's just not worth it from a time/expense standpoint.

So, I'm looking for people familiar with those areas to give me some tips.
Doesn't take much longer avoiding the tolls:

You can check "Avoid Tolls" as an option if you'd like. Difference is like 15 minutes. Such a pretty ride too. Love driving on I77 through the mountains.
