Key Takeaways

  • •A toll-bridge company is any private company or person that owns or runs a bridge where you pay to cross.
  • •This includes anyone who manages or controls the bridge, even if they don’t own it.
  • •The bridge must be used for people or things (like cars or trucks) to cross, and you have to pay to use it.
  • •This rule is for bridges in the state where this law applies.

Example

If a company builds a bridge over a river and charges $5 for every car that crosses it, that company is a toll-bridge corporation under this law.

The company owns the bridge and makes people pay to use it, so this law applies to them.
