HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family! Wishing you the very best in 2026!
CASHLESS TOLLS: The Atlantic City Expressway tolls are now cashless. Motorists may pay tolls via E-ZPass, or via toll-by-plate. New overhead toll readers have been installed at 11 locations along the Expressway, and the traditional toll plaza will eventually be removed. Reducing congestion at the toll plaza is expected to be a major benefit of the new cashless tolling system.
THE TOWNSEND’S INLET BRIDGE will close during overnight hours beginning Monday, January 12th. A contractor will be installing new pilings beneath the bridge from 8pm to 5am, Monday through Thursday nights, as part of the bridge fender replacement program. During the closures, which are expected to last until January 26th, motorists may use Route 9 or the Garden State Parkway when travelling between Avalon and Sea Isle City.
