WOODBRIDGE — Toll road riders in New Jersey need to start scraping together more change before getting on the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway.
Starting Dec. 1 at 12:01 a.m., fees increased at tollbooths along the 148-mile Turnpike and the 173-mile Parkway.
In Cape May County, the northbound main line barrier plaza at milepost 19.4 in Seaville increased from 70 cents to $1 for passenger cars and the southbound ramp plaza at milepost 3.8 in Rio Grande increased from 25 cents to 35 cents.
In 2012, the tolls will increase again to $1.50 in Seaville and 50 cents in Rio Grande.
A full-length trip on the Parkway, from Cape May to the New York border, increased $5.25 from $12.25 to $17.50. In 2012, the price jumps to $26.25.
A full-length trip on the Turnpike increased $10.60 from $26.55 to $37.15. In four years, it will cost $56.85.
The Turnpike Authority’s toll increase plan will help fund a $7 billion capital plan that includes the elimination of traffic signals and improvements at Parkway Interchanges 9, 10 and 11 in Middle Township.
