Indiana-Illinois Border Toll Bridge May Get A New Lease Of Life
WEHT reports, an inspection is underway that could lead to the reopening of a toll bridge linking Posey County, Indiana, and White County, Illinois, that closed in 2012. Structural corrosion and insufficient revenue forced the bridge’s closure. A local development group is reportedly backing an effort to restore the bridge, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.

The Gleaner reports, Jamaica’s Ministry of Transport announced that toll road operators “have decided to push back” proposed rate increases because of the economic impact of COVID-19. “There have been negative public sentiments after the Ministry published notices seeking feedback on the proposed toll increases. The Ministry notes that TransJamaican Highway Limited and the Jamaica North South Highway Company Limited submitted their applications to vary the toll, as stipulated under their concession agreements, which provides that the concessionaires may apply for an annual increase in toll tariffs. However, they both indicated that the new rates, which ordinarily would have taken effect in July, will not be implemented at this time.”
