News 12 has learned that Long Island drivers heading to
the city will soon pay more to cross bridges and tunnels because the MTA board
approved a toll hike.
Starting in April, tolls will increase by 7% on major
crossings, including the Queens Midtown Tunnel and Throgs Neck Bridge.
This means for E-ZPass users, tolls will climb 43 cents,
to $6.55.
There's
also a new surcharge for drivers who fail to properly mount or display their
E-ZPass tags.
