New tolls on I-65 bridges greet spring break travelers

CLARKSVILLE, Ind. — Spring break travelers driving south on Interstate-65 to or through Louisville should be prepared for some changes this year.

Three bridges over the Ohio River offer new and improved travel options, with tolls in place on all three.

Tolled bridges include the two I-65 bridges and the new Lewis and Clark Bridge connecting the Gene Snyder Freeway with State Road 256.

RiverLink is the name of the tolling system. There is no stopping, no slowing, no lines, and no coin machines. Tolls range anywhere from $2-$12 depending on the vehicle.

Vehicles with a RiverLink transponder or E-ZPaSS transponder will have better rates than vehicles without. Vehicles without transponders will be sent an invoice in the mail.
