MONTGOMERY – Because schools, businesses and churches have closed indefinitely in response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19), more people are spending their free time on Alabama waterways.

At noon on Monday, March 30, American Roads LLC will temporarily discontinue accepting cash at the Beach Express Bridge toll booths. In going cashless, it will join other toll organizations throughout the U.S. that have stopped accepting cash as a way to limit potential COVID-19 (coronavirus) exposure to customers, staff and partners, i.e. couriers and banks.

(Update at 3:15 p.m. Friday, March 27th: the contractor will be able to complete the road crossing between Luna’s and Big Mikes on Friday.  Therefore, no lane closure will be needed next week - Monday and Tuesday.)
