Orange Beach bridge toll increased by private company, concerning city officials - al.com: "ORANGE BEACH, Ala. -- For the second time since acquiring the Beach Express toll bridge in 2007, American Roads LLC is raising the cost of crossing the span.

Starting Friday, it will cost $3.50 for typical vehicles to use the bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway.

Orange Beach residents, who pay a discounted rate as part of a 2004 revenue-sharing deal with the bridge's builders, will not see any increase from the $1.50 they are currently charged, as long as they don't pay cash. If they do, crossing will cost $1.75."
