HIGHLAND – Cashless tolling on the Mid-Hudson Bridge over the Hudson River, connecting Highland to Poughkeepsie, begins at midnight on the morning of Tuesday, March 1.
This is the last of the New York State Bridge Authority’s five bridges to go cashless. The system is already in use on the Bear Mountain, Newburgh-Beacon, Kingston-Rhinecliff, and Rip Van Winkle bridges.
Motorists will no long have to stop- at a toll booth but will rather drive non-stop under gantries with sensors and cameras that read E-ZPass tags and take license plate images.
Vehicles with E-ZPass tags will be automatically charged to their accounts and vehicles without those tags will have their license plate image captured and a toll bill will be mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle.
