The Mackenzie-Wismar Bridge requires toll payment for vehicles, but President Irfaan Ali announced that all tolls will be eliminated on August 1, 2025, making the bridge completely toll-free.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Cyclists and pedestrians already cross free of charge.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A new US$35 million four-lane bridge is under construction (31% complete as of January 2025).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
