According to a News and Tribune article, the Bridges Authority was asked by KIPDA to set a rate scenario for tolls on the Kennedy and two new bridges. They decided to go with $3 per toll. That means $6 per day for 50,000+ citizens who live and work on different sides of the river. That is, unless they decide to save money and pollute our air by driving around to the toll-free Sherman-Minton Bridge.
It makes you wonder, doesn't it. We thought the purpose of the Bridges Project was to IMPROVE cross-river mobility.
