Louisiana suspends tolls on Belle Chasse Bridge after billing scandals and public outcry.
Governor Jeff Landry has suspended tolls on Louisiana’s Belle Chasse Bridge after residents and businesses reported excessive fees, unexpected charges, and billing errors, including a $6,000 bill due to a system glitch.
The move follows public outcry over the bridge’s $170 million public-private partnership with Plenary Infrastructure, which began tolling in May 2024 after delays and $3 million in fines.
Landry placed Plenary on notice and is pushing for contract renegotiation, citing fairness and transparency concerns.
The state is investigating tolling practices amid ongoing frustration over costs and impacts on local commerce.
