<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SteveInTampa, post: 2046099, member: 27107&quot;]The Gandy Bridge linking Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties (Tampa &amp; St.Petersburg) was a private enterprise and opened November 1924. It cut travel time by half a day. Original toll fees were .75 cents for an automobile and driver and an additional .10 cents for each passenger. The bridge stopped collecting tolls in April 1944. I was lucky to find someone that actually kept their toll ticket. My toll ticket is dated December 7th 1930, and is for .95 cents. Probably an automobile with driver and two passengers. The back of the toll ticket has advertising for Kendall Motor Oil.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt47/mbwizkid/GandyBridgeTollgate1930_zps38a943cb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt47/mbwizkid/scan0007_zps1a9d473d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt47/mbwizkid/scan0008_zps3b2cf457.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
