Michigan SB0949 prohibits toll charges after a bridge closure lasting over 90 minutes.

Michigan SB0949 amends the Michigan Vehicle Code to prohibit toll charges on a bridge after an unscheduled closure lasting longer than 90 minutes. The authority cannot charge tolls or fees to individuals or vehicles until either three hours after the bridge reopens or until traffic clears the bridge structure before the toll plaza, whichever is later. This provision aims to prevent toll charges during extended bridge closures, ensuring fairness for users affected by such closures.
