NJ turnpike tolls

I could not believe how much tolls were traveling from jersey city (liberty state park) straight down the turnpike into Delaware and beyond. I think we paid about $50 on the turnpike. I have not been up in that area for about 12 years, they are just completing a huge road project.. I guess they need their $$$

Note to self.... Have a lot more cash for tolls in the truck next time we take a big trip! Had to pull off the road to reload from the trailer!
  • We have EZ Pass and still leave the NJ Pike heading south at Exit 5. Head west for less than a mile and pick up Rte 295 S which parallels the NJ Pike down to the Delaware Bridge. It's free, has less traffic, and runs through rural countryside. Heading north, look for Rte 295 and do the reverse, getting on the Pike. Camp on!
