Are Toll Suspensions reinstated after hurricane Milton passes?

Highway tolls are reinstated after Governor Ron DeSantis suspended them in preparation for hurricane Milton. But there are some exceptions.

READ: Tolls suspended on many of Florida’s evacuation routes

Tolls were suspended across Central Florida and Alligator Alley in order to allow residents to evacuate and prepare for Hurricane Milton that made landfall last Wednesday. DeSantis issued this 7-day toll suspension at 10:30am on Monday, October 7th 2024 due to evacuation orders and expected heavy traffic because of the storm.

In a news release, DeSantis says “The Department is committed to ensuring motorists can get where they need to go as quickly and safely as possible, especially in preparation for a major hurricane. Suspending tolls across the central and west part of the state and Alligator Alley offers an additional option for families to easily get out of the storm’s direct path.”
