The bridge commission is looking at offering several payment options, in addition to the MacPass, such as reloadable payment cards for those who donвЂ™t have a debit or credit card. The estimated cost for Halifax Harbour BridgesвЂ™ capital projects over the next 10 years is more than $280 million.В It includes concrete, steel and paint repairs and the replacements of approach span bearings for the Macdonald Bridge, which wasnвЂ™t included in the Big Lift and a вЂњscoping study and preliminary design for the replacement of the MacKay Bridge.вЂќ The commission also claimedВ the increase is required toВ fund its 10-year capital, rehabilitation and maintenance plan вЂњrelated to borrowings to ensure the bridges are well maintained and operational for the safety and convenience of the travelling public.вЂќ In its application, Halifax Harbour BridgesВ highlighted the need for a toll increase as the bridges and other infrastructure continue to age. There will also be a 25 per cent increase per axle for commercial vehicles using cash or a MacPass, but there will be no changesВ for buses. 3, 2022, rates will increase from $1 to $1.25 for cash customers, whileВ those with a MacPassВ willВ see a rate increase from 80 cents to $1.
