YORK COUNTY, Va. (WAVY) — Governor Glenn Youngkin announced Tuesday morning a plan to remove the toll collection for the George P. Coleman Bridge.
According to a release, the elimination, which is scheduled to take place on Aug. 8, will help Virginians nearly $60 million. This comes after Youngkin’s 2025 budget amendment which called for the elimination of tolls on the Coleman Bridge by Jan. 1, 2026.
