<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No — Nebraska's only toll bridges are cash-only. E-ZPass, I-PASS, and all other electronic transponders are not accepted. Cash is the only payment method at both bridges, plus a prepaid toll card available for frequent users of the Bellevue Bridge.</p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Key Reality:</strong> Nebraska has one of the simplest toll systems in America — just two small Missouri River bridges, both under $2.00 for passenger cars, both with manned cash booths operating 24/7. Nearly all Nebraska roads, including I-80 (the busiest east-west interstate in the state), are completely toll-free. The toll bridges serve specific regional communities, not major interstate corridors.</p>

No rate changes or system upgrades have been announced. The Plattsmouth Bridge has been discussed as a candidate for future replacement with a toll-free facility — no confirmed timeline as of 2026. Nebraska has no plans for electronic tolling infrastructure or additional toll facilities.</p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Motorcycles are classified as 2-axle vehicles at both bridges and pay the same rate as passenger cars. Neither bridge issues violation penalties for non-payment since both have manned booths at all hours — you must pay to cross.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 20px 0 10px 0;">Bellevue GAR Memorial Bridge</h3>
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">The Bellevue GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) Memorial Bridge spans the Missouri River between Mills County, Iowa and Sarpy County, Nebraska at the city of Bellevue, Nebraska — just south of Omaha. It connects Highway 75 in Nebraska with Interstate 29 in Iowa, making it a popular route for travelers in the southern Omaha metro heading east.</p>
 +
 
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Toll booths operate on both sides of the bridge, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Because cash is the only accepted payment, violations are uncommon — you must physically stop and pay to cross. If you have a payment issue, contact the Bellevue Bridge Commission directly. The Bellevue toll pass card ($0.75/crossing) is available for frequent users through the Commission and provides a 25% discount over the cash rate.</p>

 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">The Plattsmouth Bridge spans the Missouri River between Plattsmouth, Nebraska (Cass County) and Glenwood, Iowa (Mills County). The western approach carries traffic on Livingston Road out of Plattsmouth; on the Iowa side, it becomes Lambert Avenue leading into Glenwood.</p>
 +
 
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">The bridge is a two-lane crossing with toll booths on both sides, accepting cash only with no electronic payment options. Unlike the Bellevue Bridge, no prepaid card program is available. The Plattsmouth Bridge has been discussed as a candidate for eventual replacement with a toll-free publicly funded structure, though no firm construction date or funding commitment has been announced as of 2026.</p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Multiple free Missouri River crossings are available near both toll bridges, with minimal detour time:</p>

<li><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Near Bellevue:</strong> The I-480/US-75 toll-free bridge (Omaha to Council Bluffs, Iowa) is approximately 8 miles north of the Bellevue Bridge. For travelers on US-75 heading to Iowa, the Bellevue Bridge is the most direct option, but the free I-480 crossing adds only about 15 minutes.</li>
 +
<li><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Near Plattsmouth:</strong> The I-80 bridge between Omaha and Council Bluffs is approximately 20 miles north of Plattsmouth — toll-free and on the major interstate. For local Plattsmouth and Cass County residents, the toll bridge is the most practical option.</li>

Nebraska Toll Bridges Complete Guide

System: 2 cash-only toll bridges across the Missouri River — no electronic tolling, no E-ZPass
Coverage: Bellevue GAR Memorial Bridge (Bellevue, near Omaha) and Plattsmouth Bridge (Plattsmouth to Glenwood, Iowa)
Currency: US Dollar (USD) — cash only; no credit cards, no transponders
Technology: Manned toll booths, 24 hours/day; toll pass card at Bellevue Bridge only
Operators: Bellevue Bridge Commission (Bellevue Bridge), Plattsmouth Bridge Commission (Plattsmouth Bridge)

Do I Need E-ZPass for Nebraska? 2026 Update

No — Nebraska's only toll bridges are cash-only. E-ZPass, I-PASS, and all other electronic transponders are not accepted. Cash is the only payment method at both bridges, plus a prepaid toll card available for frequent users of the Bellevue Bridge.

Key Reality: Nebraska has one of the simplest toll systems in America — just two small Missouri River bridges, both under $2.00 for passenger cars, both with manned cash booths operating 24/7. Nearly all Nebraska roads, including I-80 (the busiest east-west interstate in the state), are completely toll-free. The toll bridges serve specific regional communities, not major interstate corridors.

2026 Update: Both bridges remain under local commission control with stable, long-standing rates. No rate changes or system upgrades have been announced. The Plattsmouth Bridge has been discussed as a candidate for future replacement with a toll-free facility — no confirmed timeline as of 2026. Nebraska has no plans for electronic tolling infrastructure or additional toll facilities.

Nebraska Toll Costs: Current Rates (2026)

Bridge 2-Axle Car / Motorcycle (Cash) Toll Card Rate (Bellevue only) Multi-Axle Vehicles Payment Methods
Bellevue GAR Memorial Bridge $1.00 $0.75/crossing (prepaid card) $1.00 per axle Cash or Bellevue toll pass card
Plattsmouth Bridge $1.75 No card system Varies by vehicle type Cash only (both booth sides)

Motorcycles are classified as 2-axle vehicles at both bridges and pay the same rate as passenger cars. Neither bridge issues violation penalties for non-payment since both have manned booths at all hours — you must pay to cross.

Bridge Details

Bellevue GAR Memorial Bridge

The Bellevue GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) Memorial Bridge spans the Missouri River between Mills County, Iowa and Sarpy County, Nebraska at the city of Bellevue, Nebraska — just south of Omaha. It connects Highway 75 in Nebraska with Interstate 29 in Iowa, making it a popular route for travelers in the southern Omaha metro heading east.

Toll booths operate on both sides of the bridge, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Because cash is the only accepted payment, violations are uncommon — you must physically stop and pay to cross. If you have a payment issue, contact the Bellevue Bridge Commission directly. The Bellevue toll pass card ($0.75/crossing) is available for frequent users through the Commission and provides a 25% discount over the cash rate.

Contact: Bellevue Bridge Commission — available through the City of Bellevue, Nebraska

Plattsmouth Bridge

The Plattsmouth Bridge spans the Missouri River between Plattsmouth, Nebraska (Cass County) and Glenwood, Iowa (Mills County). The western approach carries traffic on Livingston Road out of Plattsmouth; on the Iowa side, it becomes Lambert Avenue leading into Glenwood.

The bridge is a two-lane crossing with toll booths on both sides, accepting cash only with no electronic payment options. Unlike the Bellevue Bridge, no prepaid card program is available. The Plattsmouth Bridge has been discussed as a candidate for eventual replacement with a toll-free publicly funded structure, though no firm construction date or funding commitment has been announced as of 2026.

Contact: Plattsmouth Bridge Commission — available through the City of Plattsmouth, Nebraska

Toll-Free Alternatives

Multiple free Missouri River crossings are available near both toll bridges, with minimal detour time:

  • Near Bellevue: The I-480/US-75 toll-free bridge (Omaha to Council Bluffs, Iowa) is approximately 8 miles north of the Bellevue Bridge. For travelers on US-75 heading to Iowa, the Bellevue Bridge is the most direct option, but the free I-480 crossing adds only about 15 minutes.
  • Near Plattsmouth: The I-80 bridge between Omaha and Council Bluffs is approximately 20 miles north of Plattsmouth — toll-free and on the major interstate. For local Plattsmouth and Cass County residents, the toll bridge is the most practical option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Nebraska have any toll roads?

No. Nebraska has no toll roads. I-80, the primary interstate through the state, is entirely toll-free. Only the two small Missouri River bridges described above charge tolls.

Can I use E-ZPass or any transponder at Nebraska bridges?

No. Neither Nebraska toll bridge has any electronic tolling infrastructure. E-ZPass, I-PASS, and all other transponders are not accepted. Cash is the only payment method (plus the Bellevue toll pass card for frequent Bellevue Bridge users).

What if I can't pay the toll?

Both bridges have manned booths at all hours. If you have a payment issue, speak to the toll attendant — they can provide guidance. For the Bellevue Bridge, contact the Bellevue Bridge Commission for any post-crossing payment arrangements.
