Expect to pay a little bit more when crossing two bridges over the Delaware River.

PALMYRA -- Starting at 10 p.m. tonight, tolls on the Tacony-Palmyra and Burlington-Bristol bridges that link New Jersey to Pennsylvania will go up.

According to reports, the cost will climb to $4 for those using cash and $3 for motorists with E-Z Pass. Tolls on the two bridges overseen by the Burlington County Bridge Commission have not been raised since 2000 and are required to help pay for improvements.

Other increases currently listed on the bridge commission's website include two-axle trucks going from $9 to $13, three-axle trucks going from $13.50 to $18 and four-axle trucks from $18 to $24.

The Tacony-Palmyra Bridge spans the Delaware River from Palmyra Borough into Northeast Philadelphia. The Burlington-Bristol Bridge, located farther north up the Delaware River, is located just south of Burlington Island.

Farther south, the Delaware River Port Authority recently approved a frequent commuter discount for motorists using the Betsy Ross, Commodore Barry, Walt Whitman and Ben Franklin bridges. A credit would be applied to the E-Z Pass accounts of drivers who cross the spans at least 18 times per month.
