I-65 bridge to Louisville to be tolled

riverlinkCLARKSVILE, Ind. — If you travel to Louisville via Interstate 65, you need to prepare for the start of tolling on three Ohio River bridges.

Tolling on the Louisville – Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project is scheduled to begin on Friday, December 30.

Both I-65 bridges as well as the new East End bridge connecting the Gene Snyder Freeway will be tolled, using a new, all-electronic tolling system called RiverLink.

There will be no stopping, no slowing, and no coin machines.

Toll rates will range anywhere from $2-$12, depending on the size of the vehicle and whether the driver has a RiverLink account and transponder.

All E-ZPass transponders including the I-PASS from Illinois and the Indiana Toll Road E-ZPass will work.

Drivers without transponders will get bills in the mail, and will pay higher rates.
