Toll Rip-Off… New Jersey – PA . . . Ben Franklin Bridge… Nothing But A Tax Harvesting Operation

It cost a total of $37.1 million U.S. Dollars. Work began on January 6, 1922. At the peak of construction, 1,300 people worked on the bridge, and 15 died during its construction. Today it collects over $279,000 a day.

The Ben Franklin Bridge had a toll revenue of $101,860,000 last year. It charges $5 per car traveling between Camden and Center City, Philadelphia.

At a considerable inconvenience going through the toll collection lanes the Delaware River Port Authority collected a total of $101,860,000 last year from the operators of 18,367,000 vehicles that crossed the bridge into Philadelphia last year.
