The first toll hike in a decade goes into effect Sunday for drivers crossing Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission spans between Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Last month, the commission approved two sets of toll increases, citing the COVID-19 pandemic’s slashing of commuter traffic and bridge revenue, which has yet to return to pre-pandemic levels.
Toll changes are planned for Sunday and then in January 2024, and affect the commission’s eight toll bridges.

The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission wants to triple some passenger vehicle tolls this year as it deals with traffic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The commission approved a 2021 budget with no toll increases, but on Monday published a legal ad calling for a series of toll changes on the commission’s eight toll bridges spanning the Delaware River between New Jersey and Pennsylvania, including the Route 22 and Intestate 78 bridges in the Easton area.
Most of the proposed changes would go into effect in April, with some slated for January 2024.
