MILFORD, PA — The Milford-Montague toll bridge is among three Delaware River bridges that will stop accepting cash on Monday, June 17.

The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission says this change is part of its phased-in conversion to cashless all-electronic tolling (AET) by January 2025.

Drivers who now pay with cash will need to adjust to the new system. There will be no toll booth attendants, and the number of open lanes will be reduced. Drivers will be directed to keep moving.

The commission characterizes the three bridges as “low-volume.” The other two are New Hope-Lambertville and Portland-Columbia.

The bridges will accept payment only through E-ZPass and Toll By Plate, which captures license plate information for billing. The commission says Toll By Plate rates are twice as high as E-ZPass because of its higher billing and processing costs.

The commission encourages motorists to choose the E-ZPass option. It has set the car toll at $1.50 for E-ZPass and $3 for Toll By Plate. Late payments will incur additional fees and penalties.

The registered owners of cars without E-ZPass will receive an invoice 30 days later, or once the recorded tolled trips exceed $50.

Payments for Toll By Plate can be made online with a credit card through the New Jersey E-ZPass website or in person at some walk-in centers.

Cashless collections are coming to the commission’s four remaining higher-volume toll bridges: Trenton-Morrisville, I-78, Easton-Phillipsburg and Delaware Water Gap. A date for the conversion will be decided late this year.

Next is the “hard conversion phase,” which would replace all barrier toll plazas with “highway-speed all-electronic tolling gantries.” New Hope-Lambertville will be converted sometime next year, according to the commission.
