Motorists heading to Kentucky or Ohio will now have to pay a toll. Starting today tolling will begin on the new SR 265 Lewis and Clark Bridge, the new 1-65 Abraham Lincoln Bridge and the improved I-65 Kennedy Bridge.
INDOT officials note the Kennedy and Lincoln bridges provide 12 lanes of 1-65 traffic connecting downtown Louisville and Southern Indiana.
The new Lincoln Bridge carries six lanes of 1-65 North traffic, and the refurbished Kennedy carries six lanes of I-65 South traffic.
The Lewis and Clark bridge opened to traffic Dec. 18 connects the Gene Snyder Freeway in Prospect, Ky. with state road 265 in Utica. Ind.
RiverLink is all-electronic tolling, with no toll booths, no coin machines, no lines and no stopping. This will allow drivers to move at the speed of traffic without delays.
Drivers with transponders will pay the lowest toll rates, which range from $2 to $12. Drives can choose a free RiverLink local transponder, which works only on the I-65 and SR 265 bridges.
They can also get a RiverLink E-Z Pass transponder by visiting www.RiverLink.com. The transponder works in all 16 E-Z Pass states.
