The Kane County Board on Tuesday morning approved a 95-cent toll for most vehicles utilizing the bridge on the Longmeadow Parkway, which is slated to open in 2022, according to the Daily Herald.

Those living in unincorporated Algonquin and Kane County can also apply to pay a flat annual feeof $200, which will allow them to cross the bridge an unlimited number of times, according to the article.
