The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge is 15.00, and that does notinclude the toll road you must take to access the bridge.The CBBT is it's own entity, meaning that it does not receive state monies. Costs continue torise and this is a relatively small increase. The last increase was in June of 2004 - nearly 10years ago.And no, I don't work for them. I just don't get upset when well managed entities need to raiseprices.If they are planning to dig deeper tunnels (discussed a while ago), they should make the portskick in since they are the one who will profit from that endeavor.Login to your account to post comments report violation hide all comments from this user2or1HOLLISSubmitted by Traveler on Wed, 08/14/2013 at 6:19 pm.Thank you; you just made my point.The CBBT is the MOST expensive crossing in America.It's MORE than 15.00 even now; also the crossing are the NJTP correct?That NJTP extends for miles and is a separate entity from the bridges.You're arguing nonsense. You no doubt work for the CBBT or have some member of yourfamily there otherwise why would you be writing these "falsehoods". Another point NYC isNOT in dire financial straits like the two counties on the Eastern Shore of VA who needtourists and trade.BTW, for the benefit of the public.
