ALEXANDRIA BAY, N.Y. —The Thousand Islands Bridge, connecting Interstate 81 to Canada, will be able to process E-Z Pass transactions when new equipment is installed next year.
The Thousand Islands Bridge Authority (TIBA) has hired Nashville, Tennessee–based TransCore to design, develop, and maintain a next-generation, toll-collection system.
The current system at the bridge dates from 1992. The new system is scheduled to be completed by fall 2019, according to the bridge authority.
