bridge tolls

Span passage payments

Bridge tolls are fees charged for crossing a bridge, typically collected at toll booths or through electronic payment systems.

Major bridges—especially those spanning rivers or bays—often charge tolls to fund construction, maintenance, and operations: Bridge tolls on the Golden Gate went up again.

Some regions use variable tolls to manage traffic congestion during peak hours.
