The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announced tolling operations will resume at LA 1 in Leeville in late summer into early fall this year. This follows repairs made to the system from damage caused by Hurricane Ida in August of 2021.
There will be several changes when the tolling system is re-opened to the public. The furthermost right lane that was used to pay tolls via cash and credit will be closed. Vehicles up to 12 feet wide and 16 feet and 5 inches high will be able to use the cashless “All Electronic Tolling Lane” in the new right lane. All vehicles exceeding these measurements with the proper required permit and contra-flow escort will use the far-left lane on the northbound bridge.
Customers to the system are encouraged to sign up for a GeuxPass Toll Tag account online at GeauxPass.com or in person at the Customer Service Center. For customers without a pre-paid GeauxPass account, a new Bill by Mail system will be used. This option allows customers without an account to pass through the toll and receive an invoice by mail to the address where the vehicles is registered. Drivers may incur additional fees should a motorist not pay the invoice within 30 days.
The switch to an all-electronic tolling system will keep customers moving and reduce traffic delays on LA 1.
