Hudson Valley drivers
heading to the city will soon pay more to cross bridges and
tunnels.
The MTA board approved a toll increase hike
yesterday.
Starting in April, tolls
will increase by 7% on major crossings, including the Queens Midtown Tunnel and
Throgs Neck Bridge.
That means tolls will climb 43 cents, to $6.55 for E-ZPass users.
There's also a new surcharge
for drivers who fail to properly mount or display their E-ZPass tags.
