Toll Bridge Authority Ends Carquines and Benicia Toll
The Sacramento Toll Bridge Authority votes to end tolls on the Carquines and Benicia bridges on August 1. It will redeem $543,080 of outstanding bonds, then the bridges join the state highway system with no tolls. Governor Karl Warren notes the public benefit as the bridges restore free access across San Francisco Bay. The bridges, built by the American Toll Bridge Company about 20 years ago, were purchased by the state in 1940 with $5,043,000 in bonds. The original plan anticipated toll-free operation in 1948 after private franchise expiry.
