RiverLink Adds Pay-By-Plate Option For Ohio River Toll Bridges

Drivers using the toll bridges over the Ohio River between Louisville and southern Indiana have a new way to pay the fees.

Pay-by-plate allows drivers to go online and pay their tolls before a bill arrives.

Officials say they're reacting to feedback from drivers who say they don’t want to wait for a bill to pay their tolls.

Drivers must wait three to five days after crossing and then go online to riverlink.com to pay. 

RiverLink is an electronic tolling system that uses cameras or sensors to bill drivers instead of requiring cars to stop at a toll booth while crossing the bridges. 

Drivers who set up a RiverLink account and get a transponder for their vehicle save around $2 per crossing.
