Crossing the bridges that connect Louisville, Kentucky, to Southern Indiana will cost anywhere from $2.52 to $15.09, with the exact price depending on your vehicle's size and whether you use a prepaid toll account.
These updated toll rates became effective on July 1, 2023, applying to the three bridges that span the Ohio River in this area. The pricing structure is designed to offer flexibility based on how frequently you cross and the type of vehicle you drive.
Factors Influencing Toll Rates
The cost of crossing is primarily determined by two key factors:
- Vehicle Size: Larger vehicles, such as multi-axle commercial trucks, are subject to higher toll rates compared to standard passenger cars.
- Prepaid Account Status: Drivers who utilize a prepaid toll account, such as a RiverLink account, typically benefit from the lowest available rates. These accounts usually involve a transponder for automated payments, offering convenience and cost savings. Conversely, drivers without a prepaid account will incur higher tolls.
