BELLE CHASSE, LA. - The Belle Chasse Bridge and Tunnel Replacement Project announces that the commencement date for tolling on the new bridge is anticipated to be April 2, 2025. The LADOTD is completing its final inspection of the work, and this date is subject to change.
The 2025 toll rates and vehicle class categories for the Belle Chasse Bridge are pictured below. They are also available by visiting www.geauxpass.com/tolling.
The community is encouraged to create an account with GeauxPass, Louisiana’s state-wide interoperable tolling system. Each vehicle requires its own GeauxPass transponder sticker, which are free to obtain. Using a GeauxPass offers ease of conveyance over the bridge and a reduced toll rate in every category. Drivers who opt not to use a GeauxPass will receive a toll invoice mailed to the address connected to their vehicle registration.
While GeauxPass registration via www.geauxpass.com or the mobile app remain the most convenient options, in-person, local registration opportunities continue to be provided. There has been a series of these events in 2025. Additional customer service resources are being added to further support the remaining GeauxPass registration events, including a wider variety of assisted account creation methods.
The schedule of remaining events is as follows:
March 26: Belle Chasse Auditorium, 9am-5pm
March 27: Belle Chasse Auditorium, 9am-5pm
Plaquemines Parish residents are reminded that to qualify for the resident toll rate, they must use a GeauxPass, operate a Class 1 vehicle, and establish proof of residency by providing a driver's license and vehicle registration. These documents must both display an address in Plaquemines Parish.
All individuals opening a new GeauxPass account must prefund their account with $30.
