No change to tolls at Blue Water Bridge

Toll rates at the Blue Water Bridge will stay the same this spring and summer.

The Federal Bridge Corporation announced Wednesday the rates for cars and trucks entering the US will remain at $4.25 (CDN) and $3.25 (USD) per trip.

The rate for commercial vehicles per axle is also unchanged at $4.50 (CDN) and $3.50 (USD) per trip.

The rates at the international crossing are reviewed semi-annually based on traffic levels, economic forecasts as well as funding needs for long-term capital requirements.

The toll rate value in US dollars is based on the average daily currency exchange rate over the last six months.

The next review for toll rates at the Blue Water Bridge is scheduled for October 1, 2019.
