Which way are you planning on going? The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel will add $12 each way to your trip but save you time and most likely a headache.
I live in Norfolk and drive "home" (my parents house) to just north of Albany, NY about once/twice a year. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel will save you about 95 miles and makes the trip so much more enjoyable. Just watch your speedometer on Rte 13! There are a lot of small towns that are speed traps.
I'd say it's about $10-$12 from NY to the Bridge Tunnel (ie you completely bypass NYC and don't pay any of those pesky bridge tolls). The Del Mem Bridge is $3 Southbound, but nothing Northbound as far as I remember. If you add the tunnel, it's $12 more, and if you take Rte 1 instead of 13 in Delaware (which I HIGHLY recommend) that will add $2-$4 depending on if you're driving on a weekday or weekend.
Have fun making the trip! I know it well![]()
Yes we are going to do the tunnel. We are about 45 minutes north of Albany. Thanks for the info, exactly what I was looking for![]()
Some E-ZPass toll facilities provide all E-ZPass customers a standard automatic discount when they use the E-ZPass lanes. No special enrollment is needed to receive the automatic discount.
Frequent users and commuters can save even more money on E-ZPass toll roads, bridges, and tunnels that offer discount plans over and above the standard discount. These special discount plans may have residency requirements, vehicle occupancy requirements, time-of-day restrictions, or number-of-trips requirements.
Plans designated as tag specific means that each tag must be enrolled in the plan and must meet the specific plan requirements. Plans designated as account specific means that all tags on the account are automatically enrolled in the plan and the entire account must meet the specific plan requirements.
