Highways: bridges; requirement to pay a toll after a closure; prohibit. Amends sec. 12 of 1952 PA 214 (MCL 254.322).

This bill amends the law governing the Mackinac Bridge to require tolls for drivers who cross the bridge after an unscheduled closure lasting longer than 90 minutes. Specifically, if the bridge is closed for more than 1.5 hours, drivers will not be charged until three hours after it reopens or until traffic backup clears the toll plaza, whichever happens later. The legislation applies to all vehicles and individuals using the bridge and establishes a misdemeanor penalty, including fines or jail time, for failing to pay the required tolls.
