02 Jul Riverlink Toll Increase
Trucks travelling between Louisville, KY and Southern Indiana saw a toll increase on July 1st. Riverlink, the toll system for the Abraham Lincoln Bridge (I-65 North), the John F Kennedy Memorial Bridge (I-65 South), and the Lewis and Clark Bridge (SR265/KY841) states that annual rates are determined according to a bi-state resolution that was established in 2013.
Per the bi-state resolution, toll rates are adjusted annually by 2.5% unless the rate of inflation is higher. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) calculated the rate of inflation increase was 3.4% this year. The toll rates for 5 axle or greater trucks will now range from $13.00 to $15.61 depending on the account type.
- Prepaid Account with Transponder $13.00
- Prepaid Account without Transponder $14.29
- Pay by mail/plate $15.61
While Riverlink is the tolling system, they do not have the authority to approve oversize/overweight truck crossings. When utilizing I-65 or SR265/KY841 you must have a KY and IN permit for travel to be permitted legally.
