Traffic rose to 5.48 million crossings compared with 5.42 during the same
month last year. That is a 1.1 percent increase.
Revenue rose by 0.52 percent, to $4.89 million in September 2017 from
$4.19 million last year during the month.
In the first three-quarters of the year traffic stayed essentially the
same as the same period in 2016, at 0.04 percent.
Revenue fell by 0.81 percent, which Bridge Authority explain as there
was an extra calendar day in 2016 as well as two significant snow events
that occurred in early 2017 that impacted traffic and revenue compared
to 2016.
