Officials said raising the rate from $4 to $5 is the second step in a planned, staggered increase. The toll rose from $3 to $4 in December 2024 following an "overwhelming response" from a public survey, according to the state agency. 

 from $4 to $5 will help with bridge maintenance and operations costs, and improvements for the Blue Water Bridge Plaza.
