Tappan Zee / Mario M. Cuomo Bridge Tolls: Current Status

The Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge (replaced Tappan Zee Bridge, 2017–2018) carries I-87/I-287 (New York Thruway) across the Hudson River between Tarrytown and Nyack.

Toll Policy (as of 2024)

  • Cashless tolling (E-ZPass or Tolls by Mail)
  • Westbound (Rockland → Westchester): Tolled
  • Eastbound (Westchester → Rockland): Tolled
  • 2024 Passenger Car Rates (E-ZPass NY):
    • Peak: $7.75

Correction to Prior Info

The earlier statement "no tolls in either direction" was outdated. Tolls were reinstated on the new bridge; the old Tappan Zee had tolls only eastbound (1955–2018).

  • Commuter plans (20+ trips/mo → ~$4.50/trip)
  • Resident discounts (Rockland/Westchester)
  • Green pass (EV/hybrid – limited)

Key Tip

Get an E-ZPass NY tag for lowest rates. Avoid Tolls by Mail fees. Check thruway.ny.gov/tolls for current schedule.
