Tolls rise at South Jersey bridges

PALMYRA – Motorists will pay more to cross the Tacony-Palmyra and Burlington-Bristol bridges.

Starting at 10 p.m. Tuesday, tolls will increase to $4 for motorists who pay cash and $3 for E-ZPass customers.

It is the first toll increase in 15 years at the spans.

The Burlington County Bridge Commission says the higher tolls are needed to fund improvements.
