GROSSE ILE (WWJ) - If you want to travel to Grosse Ile, you'll have to pay a toll.
The Grosse Ile Parkway Bridge, also known as the "free bridge" that connects to Trenton on the south side of the island, is closed indefinitely.
Township officials say the closure is needed for "structural repairs."
At this point, there's no estimation as to how long the closure will last.
In the meantime, residents and visitors are forced to use the Grosse Ile Toll Bridge, which connects the north end of the island to the mainland in Riverview, off Jefferson Avenue between Pennsylvania and Sibley roads.
Bridge operators say no toll will be collected when leaving Grosse Ile. However, double tolls ($5 cash or $7 credit per vehicle) will be collected to get on the island starting at 8 a.m. Thursday. One-way tolls are expected to resume once the free bridge is operational again.
