Harrisburg – The Pennsylvania turnpike Commission has identified nine tentative toll plaza locations, including one in Monroe County.  E-ZPass riders would get a break, with a free ride if they pass through only one toll gate.

In Monroe County, the list includes a toll plaza at one of these two locations:

• Between Exit 293, Scranton and Exit 298, Scotrun Monroe
• Between Exit 310, Delaware Water Gap and the New Jersey State Line Monroe

The full list can be viewed HERE.

The list is tentative and will be finalized sometime in the fall.

“The system would ensure that tolls would not begin until the second toll collection point for two-axle passenger cars using E-ZPass – an incentive that would reduce possible traffic diversions to local roads by 60 to 80 percent”, the Commission said, in a news release. “The system is designed to encourage use of E-ZPass while ensuring significant savings for passenger cars. The Turnpike unveiled the tolling recommendations and potential locations for toll collection points on the 311-mile interstate in a statewide news conference today.”

"We're still working through the traffic and revenue studies and we want to hear from the residents, obviously, before we make any final decisions or recommendations but E-ZPass just makes so much sense for so many reasons. We have made a commitment to take into consideration the impact on local residents who use I-80 as 'Main Street' if you will - to visit the doctor, to go to work or shopping," said Turnpike CEO Joseph Brimmeier.
