BACKGROUND:
The Bob Sikes Bridge Toll Plaza System Upgrades Project will consist of the installation of all new hardware and software for the toll collection function. The new system will be modeled after the Florida Turnpike Toll Facilities with the ultimate goal of full integration with the Florida Turnpike Sunpass System. The new system will have 4 new lanes that will include a single dedicated annual pass lane, and 3 mixed use lanes. The dedicated annual pass lane will allow for free movement of active Escambia County annual pass, and/or an active SunPass account. The 3 mixed use lanes will also allow for the use of pass holders, but will also offer the $1 cash transaction as well.
