PA Turnpike

Hi All, I have a 40 foot Motor Coach with toad can someone advise me on the tolls from Wheeling to Hershey PA and current conditions of the road? Thanks
  • You will be getting on the Turnpike at New Stanton and off at Harrisburg East. On the PA turnpike website there is a calculator. I chose 4 axles for you and it gave the following:
    Cash $31.20
    EZ pass $22.26
    I don't know for sure if the weight of your unit would increase the tolls.
  • If I remember right was about $35 with out our toad. that was around 2015
  • Current rates for 30,000#s and over.

    New Stanton to Harrisburg East.

    $62.15 CASH

    Add toad.

    $21.60 CASH

    TOTAL $83.75 CASH

    EZPass would be $59.90 total for both vehicles.

    You can partially justify these high tolls with fuel savings over the mountains vs alternate routes.

  • Oh Yeah, tolls are going up again. 6% for 2017 according to their web site. Somebody must need a raise. It sure isn't inflation.
  • I would definitely get off at exit 226 Carlisle and save money. Easy drive up I-81 to US 322 into Hershey. Have done this many, many times driving 22 wheeler.

    Have a safe trip.
