Commissioners voted to waive the tolls for six consecutive Sundays beginning on Aug 6 in support of the “Savor the Shore” campaign that was recently initiated by the Lee County Visitor and Convention Bureau The campaign is intended to encourage residents to enjoy access to local restaurants and attractions during the off-season

Officials noted that the tolls remain active and have not been waived for the county's other bridges

On July 26, the county's VCB announced that it was sponsoring the awareness and advocacy campaign. Savor the Shore will be a multi-week effort, which will include print, radio and television promotions
