Does Utah have any toll roads?

I live in an area where the toll roads are the New York Thruway and the New Jersey tunpike. What you get with a toll road is not all negative. All roads are supremely maintained and for the most part extremely efficient in delivering you where you want to go.
Yes... no one wants to pay for a drive on something that was once free. However, you pay for what you get. Now I know that SLC and Utah will not have to charge nearly what it costs out here but from my experience, after you use them you realize the benefits.
It also funds other projects that better the state.
After all of that, I hate paying tolls...but you get used to it. At least you do not have bridges at 4 to 6+ dollars a pop.
