Toll rates to rise
OLYMPIA — Toll rates for the state Highway 520 Bridge will increase Saturday, July 1.
Toll payers will see a 5 percent increase in weekday and weekend toll rates, and nighttime tolling will begin at a flat rate of $1.25 per crossing.
Toll revenue is required and on track to generate $1.2 billion to cover a portion of the new bridge’s cost, the state Department of Transportation said.
These increases were approved by the state Transportation Commission in May 2016, following a public comment period and after public meetings were conducted.
The across-the-board 5 percent increase equates to 20 cents for peak period tolls (increasing from $4.10 to $4.30 for Good To Go! pass holders). Overnight travel between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., formerly toll-free, now will cost $1.25 per crossing for those with a Good To Go! pass. The additional $2 per crossing Pay By Mail charge for drivers who do not have a Good To Go! pass has not changed.
