Toll bridge in Louisville

We are CANADIANS. How will they charge us for the toll. Second post about this. Heading through this week. Hoping someone has an answer or contact information to ask.
  • Just drive across it, I bet you don't even get charged. I live around here and if we have a trailer hooked up we don't get a bill. Now that we have a transponder we will be charged all the time.

    We went thru one on the way to FL and were never charged last year. I truly believe the people who live around here will be paying for the bridges. I could be wrong but I don't believe so.
  • Take I-264 West and cross the New Albany bridge to the west of Louisville then back east to I-65 North. We came across there 2 1/2 weeks ago, no toll there. Tolls are charged on I-65 and I-264 on the east side of town on the two new bridges.
  • According to the Riverlink toll page, it's an extra dollar for the non-registered toll by plate. If you are worried about it setup a toll by plate account, then close it after 30 days or so. I did this in Washington to simplify our crossings and they just mailed me a check for the balance when I closed the account. I've even registered my vehicles in Vancouver BC for the toll by plate bridges, just for the savings - same thing, closed the account after 30 days.

    Unless you are going to be on a lot of US EZPass type roads, it not worth getting their EZPass friendly transponder. I'd just either register for the toll by plate account or just let it ride and wait for the bill in the mail.

    i'm not sure i understand the 'how' part of the question. very few American toll roads or bridges will take credit cards and none that i know of will take checks. i'd have some American dollars handy and be prepared to pay in cash.

    i did a google search on 'Louisville KY Toll Bridge' and got a ton of information. suggest you do that as i'm sure it will answer whatever questions you may have.
  • According to Google you need an EzPass or a RiverLink transponder. Pay by plate appears to be the most expensive option. I doubt the system will have any trouble sending a bill based on a Canadian plate.
