LOUISVILLE, Ky. — New toll rates for three bridges connecting Louisville and southern Indiana will take effect next month.
From July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, rates will range from $2.52 to $15.09.
That's dependent on the vehicle's size and whether the driver has a prepaid RiverLink account.
Officials said toll revenue helps pay for the operations and maintenance of bridges and roadways in the Ohio River Bridges Project area.
The three toll bridges in Kentuckiana that will see increased rates are:
- The I-65 Abraham Lincoln Bridge,
- The I-65 Kennedy Bridge,
- The SR 265/KY 841 Lewis and Clark Bridge
Breaking down the new toll rates
Toll rates increase annually by 2.5% unless the rate of inflation, measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), is higher, according to RiverLink officials.
April's CPI, used to calculate this year's increase, was 4.9%.
Officials said the best way to save money using the toll bridges is to have a prepaid RiverLink account. According to RiverLink, drivers in good standing save more than $2 per crossing.
