New Year Brings Higher Tolls For Three Area Roadways
Cash tolls are going up 10 percent on the Pennsylvania Turnpike starting January 1st.
TRENTON, N.J. (CBS) – New Year’s Day will bring toll hikes on three area roads, drivers in New Jersey will be hit especially hard.
The cost of commuting is going up by 50 percent on the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway. But spokesman Tom Feeney says drivers can take comfort from knowing none of the increase is going to operating costs; all of it is going to capital improvements.
“Nobody likes a toll increase, but all of this money is being invested in dozens of projects that will relieve congestion, restore bridges, improve interchanges, expand the use of technology on the roadways and make both roadways safer.”
