BELLE CHASSE, La. (WGNO) — Officials with the Belle Chasse Bridge and Tunnel Replacement Project have announced another delay in the Belle Chasse Bridge tolling date.
The date to start tolling has now been delayed to April 10 as contractors wrap up final signage details. However, bridge project
officials said the date could change due to inspections and weather.

Drivers are being advised to set up an account with GeauxPass and get a free transponder sticker as required for each vehicle.
"Using a GeauxPass offers ease of conveyance over the bridge and a reduced toll rate in every category. Drivers who opt not to use a GeauxPass will receive a toll invoice mailed to the address connected to their vehicle registration," a news release states.
Bridge officials said Plaquemines Parish residents can qualify for a resident toll rate by using a GeauxPass, driving a class 1 vehicle and providing proof of residency with a driver's license and vehicle registration with a Plaquemines Parish address.
