The schedule of toll rates shall consider results of a financing study undertaken jointly by the City of Chesapeake and the Virginia Department of Transportation that will evaluate appropriate tolling options for financing the cost of the reconfiguration of the highway, replacement of the "Steel Bridge" on U.S. Route 17 over the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River, and widening of Dominion Boulevard in the City of Chesapeake; however, toll rates for vehicles having three or more axles shall not be lower than $3 per trip.
