The extra revenue will sustain a $60 weekly limit that shields western Sydney drivers from steeper charges

Overview

  • From July 1 southbound peak trips will cost $4.41, a 14¢ increase, with smaller rises for off-peak and evening crossings
  • All additional toll income will be channelled into the $60 weekly cap introduced in January 2024, which runs until early 2026
  • Western Sydney commuters currently face weekday return tolls of about $38–$39 before the cap relieves their costs
  • This is only the second toll rise on the bridge since 2009 after a 6.8% hike in 2023 following the cap’s launch
  • Drivers continue to navigate changing lanes and closures from the Warringah Freeway upgrade, scheduled for completion next year
