Why eastbound and westbound differ
The Eastgate barrier near the Pennsylvania border (MP 238.7) only collects tolls from westbound traffic, at a flat rate calculated as a round trip on that easternmost section. Eastbound traffic passes Eastgate free. So a full-length westbound crossing pays Eastgate ($3.00 E-ZPass for Class 1) plus the ticketed section ($13.75) plus the Westgate barrier ($2.25) for $19.00 total, while the same trip eastbound skips the Eastgate toll and costs $16.00. Trips that stay west of Eastgate cost the same in both directions.
Vehicle classification
How class is determined
- Height over the first two axles (under 7'6" is "low", 7'6" or over is "high").
- Total number of axles, including any towed unit.
- Overall length (over 90 feet is Class 8).
Common situations
- Sedan, SUV, pickup, minivan, motorcycle: Class 1.
- Passenger car towing a single-axle trailer (low 3-axle): Class 2.
- Class B motorhome: Class 1 if under 7'6", Class 2 otherwise.
- High-roof box truck or large 2-axle RV: Class 2.
- Standard 5-axle tractor-trailer: Class 5.

Short trips and free zones
There is no minimum toll. The shortest ticket-section fares between adjacent plazas run as low as $0.50 for a Class 1 car with E-ZPass. Trips entirely within the western zone (exits 13-39) or eastern zone (exits 215-234) that cross no barrier are free, as is passing Eastgate eastbound.
