Drivers who pay cash to cross the Delaware River in north and central Jersey will have to pay $2 more to drive across starting early Sunday morning.
Tolls will increase for the first time in 10 years on the eight bridges run by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission that charge a fee. The commission also runs 12 “free” bridges that are supported by its toll bridges.
The toll increase that was approved by the commission on March 29 will take effect just after midnight April 11.
The cash and toll-by-license-plate rates will increase the most, from $1 to $3, which prompted one commissioner to vote against the toll increase because of the effect it will have on drivers who can’t afford an E-ZPass account that would get them a lower rate.
