Toll rates to increase for South Norfolk Jordan Bridge on Jan. 1st

Drivers on the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge

CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WVEC) -- The toll rates for the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge will see an increase starting January 1, 2017.

E-ZPass drivers will have the lowest travel fee at $2.25 each way.

Drivers who do not have an E-ZPass and will be using Pay-by-Plate will now have to pay $5.00 per trip when using the bridge.

Multi-axle vehicle rates will begin at $4.00 per trip, depending on the time of day they are traveling. Peak hours will be between 5:30 - 9 a.m. and 2:30 - 7 p.m. on weekdays.

"Our base toll rate for passenger vehicles, mopeds, and motorcycles is increasing just 25 cents per trip for drivers with a valid E-ZPass," General Manager Kevin Crum said. "This increase is the first that exceeds the original rate offered in October 2012."

Registered Pay-by-Plate accounts will also no longer be offered, or supported after March 1, 2017. Those who are currently registered will be contacted and encouraged to register with E-ZPass.
