Ohio River Bridges Project Favors Tolls
KENTUCKY....
The panel developing a financial plan for the $4.1 billion Ohio River Bridges Project says it won't delay construction to avoid tolls. The Ohio River Bridge Project Authority has concluded that $2.2 billion to $3.3 billion of the project's cost will come from tolls. Opponents of the proposed tolls have suggested following the example of Illinois and Missouri, which delayed construction of a second bridge to avoid tolls. But, Steve Schultz, executive director of the Ohio River Bridge Project Authority, says his research found big differences between the Ohio River project and the projects in the other two states.
