Delaware River bridge tolls are going up, but you can save $3 on every crossing

The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission on Monday approved new toll rates that will take effect on or about Jan. 1, 2026, raising costs for drivers crossing eight bridges connecting Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

E-ZPass users driving passenger vehicles will see rates increase 50 cents to $2, while those without E-ZPass will pay $5, a $2 increase. Drivers of larger vehicles eight feet or taller will pay $6.50 per axle with E-ZPass, up $2, and $8 per axle without E-ZPass, up $3.

The rate changes will apply to all eight commission toll bridges: Trenton-Morrisville (Route 1), Scudder Falls (Interstate 295), New Hope-Lambertville (Route 202), I-78, Easton-Phillipsburg (Route 22), Portland-Columbia (Routes 611, 46 and 94), Delaware Water Gap (I-80) and Milford-Montague (Route 206).
