Toll bridge history
The article was placed there by Commissioner Joe Giusti. He announced ABC13 that he had the idea that the tribute was the tribute as a golf freeway construction due to the tribute on the west end of the island.

Giusti said that the toll generates 500,000 US dollars a year. More than half of it goes to the salaries of the HR personnel.

He said that the six workers offer other county positions. District manager say that another reason for the decision is that the tribute was paid out from the bridge 40 years ago.

Future effects
Although the toll disappears, it may not stay that way forever.

The district is considering building a new 100 million dollar bridge. The district managers applied for a TXDOT scholarship to try to record 80% in this way.

The district would still be more than 20 million US dollars on the hook. It is possible to pay for it. The district could add a tribute when it is finished.
