SEATTLE (AP) — Tolling on the Highway 520 floating bridge has been delayed until June — at the earliest. It had been expected to start as soon as this month.
Washington Transportation Department spokeswoman Janet Matkin says the department is still working with contractors to set up the automated technology. She says the state Legislature has yet to give the final OK on the tolls, which are expected to range from $1.10 to $3.50 for drivers with Good To Go accounts. Tolls billed by mail will cost $1.50 more.
The tolls are expected to collect $1 million a week.
The money will help pay for the new floating bridge on Lake Washington between Seattle and Bellevue.
A $10 discount on Good To Go accounts expires Friday.
