CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – It’s getting a little more expensive to drive on New Hampshire’s highways.
Toll fees at six toll crossings are going up at 12:01 a.m. today.
At the Hooksett tolls on Interstate 93 and the Bedford tolls on the Everett Turnpike, the rates are increasing from 75 cents to $1. On the Spaulding turnpike, the tolls will go from 50 cents to 75 cents in Dover and Rochester. The main tolls on Interstate 95 in Hampton are increasing from $1 to $1.50. The tolls on the Hampton ramps will increase from 50 cents to 75 cents. Tolls for heavier trucks also are going up.
The toll increases were approved earlier this month by the state’s five-member Executive Council.
The toll hikes are expected to raise $24 million a year to pay for bridge and highway repairs and projects.
