Overview
- The Breakaway program, which opened to personal travelers Tuesday, offers a 25% discount that sets passenger tolls at $4.35 USD or $6 CAD per trip.
- Drivers who place a Breakaway tag on their windshield get automatic payments, can use any open lane, and clear the gate within seconds.
- Early sign-ups come with a $20 starting deposit and the first 1,000 registrants receive a commemorative hockey card with their tag.
- Bridge builders report testing and commissioning are moving ahead, and authorities continue to prepare for an opening later this spring.
- Hundreds of companies have already enrolled business accounts, and the posted tolls are about half the price of the privately owned Ambassador Bridge.
