Delaware Bridge Tolls to Rise 20% on Sept. 1
First Rate Jump in 13 Years to Pay for Infrastructure, New Tolling System
Tolls on Delaware bridges will increase by 20% for all types of vehicles starting at midnight on Sept. 1 — the first such increase in 13 years — as the state seeks funding to pay for infrastructure improvements.
Toll rates will jump to the nearest 25-cent amount across the four spans managed by the Delaware River Port Authority and Port Authority Transit Corp.: the Ben Franklin, Walt Whitman, Commodore Barry and Betsy Ross bridges, Mike Williams, corporate communications manager for DRPA, told Transport Topics.
