Delaware State line to White Marsh, north of Baltimore. Combined with the New Jersey Turnpike, the Delaware River Bridge, the Dela- ware Turnpike, and the Patapsco (Baltimore Harbor Tunnel), this highway is an integral segment of the major North-South traffic facility along the East Coast. The administrative offices of the John F. Kennedy Memorial High- way are located at the Perryville Plaza Barrier where tolls for through traffic are collected. The State Roads Commission through its Finance and Accounting Division provides for the accounting and financial reporting. Toll statistics are recorded and compiled by the Toll Facilities Division at the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel Plaza. By Chapter 264, Acts of 1966, the Administrator of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway was appointed from the classified service. The traffic volume on the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway for the 1966 calendar year totaled 8,578,644 vehicles. This produced $8,542,000 of toll revenue and approximately $1,300,000 of concessions revenue.
