Toll Hike Could Accompany AET Conversion of Card Sound Bridge

FlKeysNews.com reports, “A new automated toll system likely to be installed at the Card Sound Bridge would reduce traffic slowdowns but probably would lead to increases in the current $1 toll for cars.” The report adds that the revenue is needed to pay for a new $32 million replacement bridge and “Tolls — 50 cents per axle, with discounted tickets for daily commuters — have not been raised since the toll took effect 47 years ago.”
