MDOT is announcing that effective Dec. 1, the toll rate for crossing the eastbound span of the Blue Water Bridge (BWB) in Port Huron will be $5.
This planned $1 increase will help offset increased maintenance and operations costs, in addition to construction improvements for the BWB plaza.
This increase is the second in a planned, staggered increase that began in 2024. While not required, the Michigan Department of Transportation previously chose to engage the public and regular commuters before making a final decision regarding rate increases.
Following an overwhelming response from a public survey, BWB administration implemented the first $1 rate increase on Dec. 1, 2024, with the next $1 increase beginning this coming Dec. 1. This overall rate increase follows 14 years of no changes to toll rates for commuter and commercial vehicles.
Cars will be charged at a $5 toll rate, with $5 added for each extra axel, while trucks and buses will be tolled at a rate of $5.25 per axel. Discounts remain available for those holding a commuter EDGE Pass, with holders receiving a $0.50 discount per crossing.
For more information on the EDGE Pass, available to commercial and commuter vehicles, please visit www.BlueWaterBridge.us/. Questions can be directed to MDOT-BWB-CustomerCare@Michigan.gov.
