Here's when tolls in Florida will be reinstated following suspension due to Hurricane Ian
ORLANDO, Fla. - The Florida Department of Transportation on Thursday announced that tolls across the state will be reinstated this weekend after roughly two weeks since Hurricane Ian made landfall.
Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended the tolls in several areas along the Gulf Coast and in Central Florida as Hurricane Ian was approaching the state. The order went into effect on Sept. 26.
