House approves split tolls on Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
SOUTHERN BROOKLYN — Two-ways tolls are on the verge of coming back to the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, courtesy of the House of Representatives.
A two-way toll system, also called split tolling, for the Bay Ridge-to-Staten Island bridge was included in a massive $1.4 trillion government spending bill approved by the house on Dec. 17.
U.S Reps. Max Rose, Jerrold Nadler and Nydia Velázquez, all of whom represent parts of Brooklyn, pushed for split tolls on the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge to be included in the spending bill.
