At the time of your submission, you will receive a receipt for the amount of reimbursement provided. Please provide up to six weeks for refunds to be sent.

History of the toll bridge
The article was placed there by Commissioner Joe Giusti. He told ABC13 that he had the idea of ​​taking a closer look at the toll when the construction of the Gulf motorway caused backups to the west end of the island due to the toll.

Giusti said the toll generates $ 500,000 a year. More than half of this goes to the wages of toll staff.

He said the six workers will be offered other county positions. County leaders say that another reason for the decision is that the toll was paid 40 years ago.

Future impacts
Although the toll disappears, it may not stay forever.

The county plans to build a new bridge of $ 100 million. County leaders asked for a TXDOT subsidy to try 80% in this way.

The county would still be on the hook for more than $ 20 million. It is possible to help pay for this, the county could add a toll once finished.
