Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday directed the suspension of tolls across Central Florida and West Florida, as well as Alligator Alley, in preparation for Hurricane Milton.
Tolls will be waived for seven days, beginning at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, October 7, 2024.
“At my direction, tolls are suspended today as of 10:30 AM,” said DeSantis. “With evacuation orders imminent, this will help keep traffic moving and be one less thing for people to worry about ahead of Milton.”
