Tolls will be collected one time per day, per direction at each toll location for trucks equipped with E-ZPass transponders. Video detection systems will help create an invoice for the truck’s registered owner for trucks without transponders.
Each toll location will function independently, according to RIDOT, and will be associated with reconstruction to replacement of specific bridges in accordance with RhodeWorks.
RIDOT said that the remaining tolling locations will come on line over the next 18 months. The department has 14 tolling locations planned in total.
