Governor Kay Ivey today confirmed plans for officials from the Alabama Department of Transportation and the Baldwin County Bridge Company to meet on the morning of Thursday, May 23, to sign the paperwork that transfers ownership of the Foley Beach Express toll bridge to ALDOT.

Subject to the closing process, the collection of tolls will end at noon making all routes to Alabama’s beaches toll-free.
