In general you are prohibited by the feds from tolling on existing lanes. Few exceptions 1) Already a tollway when the interstate system came into effect 2) New HOT lanes 3) Pilot programs that entail a lot of federal oversight.

I70 might be eligible for one of those pilot programs as it fits the general purpose of the two. However I believe all slots in the federal pilot programs are full.
