I did find this abstract of an old article in the archives of Regulation Magazine :
"A New Approach to Private Roads
By Eduardo Engel, Ronald Fischer and Alexander Galetovic
Roadway privatization offers many benefits, from decreasing transportation’s dependence on public coffers to using market forces to decrease the number of “white elephant” roadway projects. But, in the United States, only two private road projects have been undertaken in the last two years, in part because potential investors and the government worry about the financial risks of such projects. We believe those risks can be overcome through government awarding of “Present-Value-of-Revenue” franchises to private roadway companies, which would protect those companies’ investment but would also protect taxpayers."
