Jersey drivers will have to dig deeper into their pockets starting
Monday as toll increases take effect on the New Jersey Turnpike and
Garden State Parkway.
On the Turnpike, the cost of an average 22-mile trip will increase from $1.25 to $1.70.
One-way tolls on the Parkway will go from 35 cents to 50 cents.
Electronic message boards on both toll roads are reminding motorists about the increases.
The additional revenue will be used to repay bonds sold to finance past
construction projects and to help pay for more than $8 billion in new
work.
Three new lanes are planned for the Turnpike between
Exits 6 and 8A, and a third lane will be added to the Parkway between
Exits 63 and 80.
