![]() ![]() The George Washington Bridge is a crossing point not only to get into New York City, but also for drivers using Interstate 95. Cars pass through toll booths to use the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, N.J., Friday, July 8, 2022. ![]() Another who had pleaded guilty had that plea vacated. Those convictions were later overturned by the Supreme Court. Chris Christie for reelection.Ĭhristie was not charged with anything, but two people were convicted on federal charges. In 2013, traffic in Fort Lee, New Jersey, was snarled for several days when a group of Republican political operatives had some of the access lanes leading into the toll booths blocked in retaliation for a Democratic mayor not endorsing then-Gov. With the instituting of the new system, the toll booths currently in place will be taken out, removing a link to a memorable chapter in New Jersey’s political history known as “Bridgegate.” “Many advocates have been calling for this for a long time and it’s a welcome move,” said Tom Wright, president of the Regional Plan Association. The move from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey comes as way to help ease congestion at the bridge, the busiest of the three Hudson River crossings that the agency oversees. Starting Sunday, drivers looking to cross the Hudson River from New Jersey into New York will go through an electronic tolling system.ĭrivers without E-ZPass who would otherwise be paying cash will instead have their license plates photographed by overhead cameras and bills sent to them by mail. Attention drivers at the George Washington Bridge: Your cash is no good here. ![]()
