E-ZPass At Ocean City-Longport Bridge To Open This Fall

OCEAN CITY, NJ — A new date for the installation of the E-ZPass at the Ocean City-Longport Bridge has been announced. Initially, it was supposed to be installed by June 1, but the Cape May County Bridge Commission announced delays in March.

The project was put off for the summer months, and the E-ZPass is now set to be available sometime between late November and mid-December, according to nj.com. E-ZPass at the other four bridges will be ready by mid-spring.

Booths will be installed on all Ocean Drive bridges, including the Ocean City-Longport Bridge, the Middle Thorofare Bridge, Grassy Sound Bridge, Townsend’s Inlet Bridge and Corsons Inlet Bridge. Cars pay $1.50 in one direction, and a discount will be available for E-ZPass users at a later date.

The installation — which is designed to increase efficiency and alleviate traffic back-ups on these bridges — is being made possible as part of an inter-local service agreement in place between the Cape May County Bridge Commission and the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA).
