Toll rates to increase on three Louisville bridges starting July 1

Drivers can expect to pay higher tolls to use three bridges connecting Louisville, Kentucky, to southern Indiana, starting next month.

On July 1, 2026, toll rates will increase on the I-65 Abraham Lincoln Bridge, I-65 Kennedy Bridge, and the SR 265/KY 841 Lewis and Clark Bridge.

Toll rates for both passenger and commercial vehicles will increase by 3.8%.

Toll rates will range up to $16.62 for trucks with five or more axles, depending on whether the driver has a pre-paid account and a transponder, tolling company Riverlink said.

The new toll rates will remain in effect through June 30, 2027.

Officials said that toll rates on the bridges are typically annually increased by 2.5% per year, but the increase was higher this year due to inflation.
