Toll charges on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Tunnel are set to rise next month – the first price increase in more than 14 years.
NSW Minister for Roads, John Graham today announced that from Sunday, October 29th, the toll charges will become $4.27 in peak, $3.20 off peak and $2.67 at night.
“No toll increase is ever welcome, but this increase is helping to provide toll relief to other drivers,” the Minister said.
“The NSW Government believes it is appropriate for these tolls to be adjusted higher at a time when we are focused on providing greater equity across the toll road network, no matter what your postcode.
“Drivers in Western Sydney who have little choice but to use motorways for their commute and family travel have endured annual – and in many cases quarterly – toll increases since 2009 while the Bridge and Tunnel tolls remained fixed.
“Toll revenue is helping us target toll relief to where it is needed most, with suburbs like Kellyville, Silverwater, Blacktown, Quakers Hill, Rosehill and Gosford among those where the most motorists will claim cash back of an average of up to $540 a year. All extra revenue will be used to this end,” she said.
The last time the bridge and tunnel tolls were raised was in January 2009.
