Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel Rates Increase Wednesday

If you want to cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel at the old rate you had better do it today. Starting tomorrow the new toll rates will begin. The toll for standard passenger vehicles, pickups, light trucks and vans under 15 passengers will be $13.00 one way and $5.00 for a return trip within 24 hours. The effective rate increase for a two way trip for standard passenger vehicles is $1.00.

However in order to get the return trip discount you must possess an Easy Pass. These are available at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel administrative building at the North Toll Plaza and other local retailers.

Starting May 15, there will be a peak rate of $15 for one way but just $3 for the return trip. This will still make the round trip toll $18.00.
