The Bay Bridge was initially a private bridge maintained by the Sandusky Bay Bridge Company, which charged a 50-cent toll; the Ohio Department of Highways bought it for $1,795,000, at first lowering the toll to 25 cents then abolishing it on August 30, 1946.

[6] The Ohio Department of Transportation closed the lift span on April 19,[original research?]

1985 after an inspection which predicted a collapse due to its weight;[7] it formally abandoned the span in April 1986[7] and subsequently removed it in May 1989,[original research?]
