Higher tolls to begin in August on State Route 520 bridge

Tolls are going up on the State Route 520 floating bridge that connects Seattle with the east side of Lake Washington.

The Washington State Transportation Commission approved the hike in a 6-0 vote Wednesday, with one member absent. Peak weekday rates will rise to $4.90 from $4.50 for two-axle vehicles with a Good to Go! state toll pass. This price will be in effect during morning and evening rush hours.

Toll rates on the bridge fluctuate throughout the day and are more expensive at busier times.

Other midday rates will rise to $3.95 on weekdays – up from current prices of $3.25 or $3.80. Weekend rates will range from $1.35 to $2.95. Tolls will increase by an average of 10% over the entire week, according to the commission.
