US 31 was a toll free bridge in February! Someone I work with says He took that bridge a couple of weeks ago, & days later received a bill for $8 in the mail with a picture of His L Plate. I went to Natl Farm Machinery show in Feb, & never got a bill for US 31! Has it become a toll road as well since then? Or did He stay in the wrong lane maybe till the last minute?
 
Sometimes they wait until you have more than one toll before sending a bill. I used a toll road more than a year ago and never received a bill. When I use one again I expect to be billed for both occasions. They may wait a long time. I avoid toll roads but the road I took had become one where it wasn't before and was on it before I realized it.
 

US 31 bridge also known as the 2nd street bridge that takes you into downtown Louisville next to the KFC Yum Center isn't a toll bridge.
I-65 north bound (Lincoln) and south bound (Kennedy) bridges as well as the East End I-265 bridge are all toll bridges.
West side I-64 (Sherman Minton) bridge is not toll.

I haven't been across any of the new toll bridges but some I've talked to said they didn't get a bill until after their second crossing.
They probably don't make any money mailing out a bill for $4, same cost to mail and process a bill for $8 and make a little profit.
 
Sounds like they are becoming crooked. They should not allow tolls on roads the taxpayers built. If that is allowed to continue then the road in front of your house you will have to pay to use every time you leave home or come home. I got in that Louisville mess a few years back but will not have to bother with it ever again as I will not be back in KY again but for other reasons.

Does that mean Ohio has been crooked for years, the Ohio Turnpike was a toll road back in the 70's when I first started long haul trucking.
 
My neighbors and I payed between 7 and 10K for the road (street) in front of my house when it was replaced 5 years ago. Some roads were built on bond issues that required tolls. How ever after payoff, the continued taxation beyond maintenance is just gouging users. Jim
 
Our state and federal fuel taxes are supposed to pay for our roads. We shouldn't have to pay extra for something for which we have already been taxed. I think I'lll keep a muddy license plate on my truck.
 
I don't think it was built with tax money, private money so tolls would be OK. But I have never gone onto a toll road. Tax money should be a no to tolls.
 
The Ohio turnpike was supposed to be free when the constructions bonds were paid off, but it did not happen. The Board of Directors found a
way to keep their jobs. They built a third lane and some more exits which put the Turnpike back in debt and they get to keep their jobs. duh
Should we have expected anything else?
 

I go from SC to St Louis once a year or so to visit family. Road construction and heavy traffic caused me to quit Louisville as a crossing point. Last year we crossed the Ohio West of Fort Knox, got to seen some pretty country. One year we went up I 75 and crossed at Cincinnati, which worked out ok traffic wise. (crossed by way of the westernmost belt way). Toll bridges just reinforce my desire to stay away from Louisville.

NY state has a different plan. I got routed onto a bridge that only took EZPass but the sign said tolls applied by photo. Six months later I get a bill claiming I'd ignored all prior notices [false] and asked for a 4$ toll and 56$ late fee. That's usury in my book.

Sounds like you crossed the Mauckport-Brandenburg Bridge south of Corydon, In.
If so you where about 15 miles from my house
 
I crossed a toll bridge yesterday. I didn't know. It was toll. I got across and it said 60 cents. I reached in my pocket and all I had was 2 quarters and a 1/4 inch flat washer. I threw them in the basket and the light turned green. I won't say which city.
 
Brandenburg is the first bridge west of Lville. Hawesville is next and then Rockport and Owensboro and Evansville are the larger towns. I was at Knox from Jan 64 to Jan 66 and lived in Vine Grove and traveled around that area a lot. Then in later years years we searched kin around Hardinsburg and stayed in the Rough River Inn. We have locals from McQuady and Glen Dean. Family from Cisco, IL owned and farmed around Glen Dean. Norfleets went broke and sold it all off. Wife has people buried next to them along Daniels Creek in the woods/pasture.
 

Sister lives in Vine Grove, nephew lives in Rineyville, I worked at the Ford and Chrysler dealers in Radcliff in the 70's, live north of Garfield between Hardinsburg and Irvington.
