Tolls Could Finance New Bridges
KENTUCKY....
At Thursday's meeting of the Louisville and Southern Indiana Bridges Authority, consultant Wilbur Smith Associates pitched a proposal suggesting tolls along parts of Interstate 64 and 71 in Louisville that don't cross the Ohio River as a way to finance new bridges over the waterway. The authority has asked the Federal Highway Administration to clarify whether the I-65 Kennedy bridge and a span planned next to it could be tolled as well as a bridge that would connect Prospect, Ky., and Utica, Ind. The authority has until the end of the year to complete a financing plan for the $4.1 billion project.
