Emerald Mountain Expressway

SPECIAL NOTICE - CLICK FOR DETAILS

Welcome to Emerald Mountain Expressway! Our goal is to provide you with a quicker route to East Montgomery. We have been serving the community since 1994 and since that time have made many improvements to get you where you are going faster and easier.

We have grown from using fleet decals and cards to transponders and mobile apps! As part of this transition, we have adjusted the Freedom Pass only lanes to best match morning and afternoon traffic patterns so that those with a window sticker or mobile app can drive through faster. The message boards above our lanes were recently installed to give our customers the clearest view possible of which lane will best serve their needs. Our Alabama Freedom Pass mobile app now has account management functionality to make updating window stickers or payment information fast and convenient.

We truly appreciate our toll attendants! They enjoy seeing regular customers each day and meeting new people, too. When they greet you with a smile its genuine! They are dedicated to serving our customers however they can. Our toll attendants give directions, share their favorite restaurants, and love saying hello to the four-legged friends who travel the bridge!

Travelling North, the Freedom Pass lane is unattended for FreedomPass window stickers from 11 am-4 pm and 6 pm- 10 pm.
Why does Emerald Mountain Expressway close sometimes?
We only own a limited amount of roadway around the toll plaza and bridge. Sometimes, road repair or weather considerations require us to close. When flooding or ice occur, we cannot open the bridge for travel if it is unsafe to do so. We are in close contact with county officials during these times to reopen as quickly as possible.
Do you take cash and credit/debit cards?
Yes! We accept cash and all major credit cards in the lanes and in the office. Please be sure to use one of our ALL TRAFFIC lanes.
Do you accept SunPass, E-ZPass, PeachPass, other agency toll passes?
We currently accept Alabama Freedom Pass tags and Best Pass tags. We continue to work on expanding services.
How much does a monthly or yearly pass cost?
We offer the Alabama Freedom Pass which is a pre-paid account. A $25 deposit and completed application is required to open an account. Each trip through the toll plaza debits your account the amount of the toll. When your account is low you will receive an email notification and have funds automatically deposit into your account. Visit www.freedompass.com to get yours today!

I received a text message from you that I owe for tolls but I haven’t traveled your bridge, or I have a Freedom Pass Account. Is this legitimate?
No. We do not communicate via text message and we do not use video tolling at any of our bridges.

Special Announcement

Please be aware of text messaging scams requiring payment for past due tolls. We do not communicate via text messages, nor do we use video tolling. Disregard any text messages using our logos or links. More help on recognizing scams can be found here -> consumer.ftc.gov
