Blue Water Bridge Toll Rises To $5 In December To Fund Maintenance, Improvements

Starting December 1, 2025, the toll for crossing the eastbound span of the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron will increase by $1, raising the rate to $5 for passenger vehicles. This increase is the second phase of a staggered toll adjustment plan initiated in 2024, marking the first toll changes in 14 years. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) implemented these hikes to offset rising maintenance, operations costs, and to fund construction improvements at the bridge plaza. Public input was extensively sought prior to these changes, influencing the schedule and structure of the toll increases. In addition to the toll hikes, MDOT offers the Commuter EDGE Pass, which provides a $0.50 discount per crossing for frequent bridge users. Commercial vehicle tolls have also been adjusted, with charges based on the number of axles, and further details are available on the Blue Water Bridge website.
