Of the dozen highest priced toll bridges and tunnels in the nation, the New York-New Jersey region has nine of them, including all six of the bi-state crossings operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and three run by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in New York City.



The country's only crossing more expensive than this region's top nine is Virginia's Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, a 23-mile system that also includes causeways and man-made islands, which at $18 per round trip -- it's $30 if you take more than 24 hours to drive back over -- still provides a relatively big bang for the buck.

The number-two spot goes to the MTA's Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, at $16 per round trip for cash customers, or $11.08 with E-ZPass.
