Drivers in Bucks County could soon pay more to cross the Delaware River under a proposed toll increase by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission. The proposal would raise E-ZPass rates for passenger vehicles by 50 cents and toll-by-plate rates by $2 starting in 2026. Larger vehicles would see increases of $2 to $3 per axle, depending on the payment method. Several key bridges used by Bucks County commuters, including the Scudder Falls (I-295) and New Hope-Lambertville (Route 202) bridges, are among the eight tolled crossings affected by the proposal. More information, including dates for virtual public hearings, will be available at the commission website.
