Prices are dropping more for Orange Beach residents, to $1.25 cash or $1 electronic.
Bridge operator American Roads says the price reduction is meant to help ease congestion on Alabama 59, the main connection from Interstate 65 to the state’s most popular beaches.
The company says it is spending $5 million on improvements that will help relieve congestion by spring 2018.
The bridge crosses the Intracoastal Waterway in Baldwin County.
