LOUISVILLE, Ky. — In two weeks, on July 1, drivers crossing the bridges connecting Louisville and southern Indiana, will pay more. 

What You Need To Know

  • RiverLink tolls are going up July 1

  • Rates range from $2.61 to $15.61. Price depends on the vehicle

  • Toll rates are determined by a resolution between Kentucky and Indiana

Rates will now range from $2.61 for passenger cars to $15.61 for 5-axle+ trucks, depending on the size of the vehicle and whether the driver has a prepaid account.

The annual toll rates are determined by a bi-state resolution established in 2013. Tolls pay for the operation and maintenance of the three connector bridges. The resolution says toll rates are adjusted each year by 2.5% unless the rate of inflation—measured by the Consumer Price Index—is higher. The CPI used to calculate this year’s increase was 3.4%.

According to RiverLink, drivers in passenger vehicles that have transponders and prepaid accounts save 50% per crossing.

The only bridges where tolling is in place are the I-65-Abraham Lincoln Bridge, I-65 Kennedy Bridge and SR 265/KY 841 Lewis and Clark Bridge which connects Prospect, Kentucky and Utica, Indiana.
