You are correct; there’s the Susquehanna River toll north in I-95 (currently $5.00), and on the Delaware side of the same road, both directions (currently $4.00). Going south, I take the backstreets around the Delaware tolls and get back on I-95 just after crossing the state line. Going north, I used to take the Bay Bridge and pay only $2.50, then go east on U.S. Route 50 until I reached U.S. Route 301, where it connected with I-95 just past the Delaware toll, and avoid both the MD and DE tolls. I may need to reconsider my alternate route now. Have any ideas?
I got stuck coming up on a Friday afternoon for two hours at that border toll - never did know why, but I went around it from then on. Take I-95 up to Elkton and take 279 north to DE route 4 over to either route 72 or route 273 back onto I95 bypassing the tolls at the border and the 3-5 mile backups. Better food choices, cheaper gas, and calmer drive - what’s not to like?
