International Bridge crossings switch to new toll system

This $9.3 million toll system - located at the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge and the Blue Water Bridge - is now live on both the U.S. and Canadian sides of each bridge.

The contract is administered for the cross-border partnership by the International Bridge Administration through an agreement between the IBA, the Michigan Department of Transportation and The Federal Bridge Corporation Limited . Representatives from all three agencies gathered in Point Edward this morning to celebrate the successful launch of the system.

The contract costs of the new system are being shared equally by the IBA, MDOT and FBCL, a Canadian Crown corporation wholly owned by the Government of Canada. Through its board, the International Bridge is managed as a joint venture of FBCL and MDOT. The U.S. portion of the Blue Water Bridge is a State of Michigan entity.
