Indiana state agencies have begun procurement of toll systems covering some thirty lanes on three bridges over the Ohio River in the Louisville, Kentucky/southern Indiana metro area.

Indiana Finance Authority (IFA) is procuring a toll system provider (TSP) to supply and install in-road loops or other vehicle detection, tracking and vehicle classification and cameras, together with a back office system, customer service centre and violations processing system and centre, along with operation and maintenance.

Indiana DOT (INDOT) will buy multiprotocol readers and transponders in a separate electronic toll equipment procurement. Toll reader equipment must be multiprotocol and able to read at a minimum E-ZPass IAG and 6C. Toll gantries and equipment pads are being supplied by the civil design-build contractor.

The I-65 Kennedy Bridge will be refurbished and converted to southbound-only traffic.  Immediately alongside, a new Downtown Bridge will be built to carry northbound traffic. A new East End Crossing is planned eight miles upriver on the eastern outskirts of metro area development. Both new spans will be cable-stayed structures. A total of six toll zones has been defined adjacent to the three bridges.

The State of Texas has always prided itself on being ‘larger than life’. From the sprawling geography of the state itself with its wide open skies, to its entrepreneurial ‘get-it-done’ attitude, Texas exudes an impatient restlessness that pushes businesses and public agencies to deliver faster, better results.
