PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — A toll increase is now in effect for drivers crossing the Delaware River.
The toll for the Ben Franklin, Betsy Ross, Commodore Barry and Walt Whitman bridges is going from $5 to $6.
“I think it’s crazy, it’s ridiculous we’re already paying so much already in taxes as it is,” said Lauren Cozzi, of South Philadelphia.
“I’m really upset right now,” said Adnan Malik, of Pennsauken, NJ.
The Delaware River Port Authority says these funds will go towards bridge maintenance, operational costs, plus hiring and retaining additional police officers.
The is the first toll increase in over a decade.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) — Eric Montes sacked John Michalski on a 2-point conversion attempt and Delaware State held off Sacred Heart 17-15 on Saturday night.
The Hornets (1-1) took a 17-9 lead on Jaden Sutton’s 39-yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter, but the Pioneers (0-1) responded with an 11-play, 66-yard drive. Xavier Leigh capped the drive by scampering around left end with 1:54 to play.
Going for the tie, Michalski rolled right but couldn’t find an open receiver before Montes loomed in front of him. Michalski reversed field but had a slight slip and Montes caught him from behind.
The Hornets couldn’t run out the clock, but Sacred Heart couldn’t make anything happen in the final 90 seconds.
A 41-yard pass from Marqui Adams to Kristian Tate gave Delaware State a 7-6 lead at the half.
Matt King’s third field goal put the Pioneers on top in the third quarter, but Nathan Wilson answered for the Hornets early in the fourth.
Adams threw for 150 yards and Sutton ran for 86 for Delaware State, which lost at Hawaii last weekend.
Leigh led Sacred Heart with 91 yards on the ground.
