Mass. Pike Tolls To Go Up In January

BOSTON (AP) ― It's official: Tolls are going up on the Massachusetts Turnpike.

The turnpike board has voted to raise tolls for passenger cars at the Allston-Brighton and Weston interchanges by 25 cents to $1.25.

Also, one-way tolls for cars in the Ted Williams and Sumner tunnels will rise 50 cents to $3.50. The hikes take effect in January.

The increases apply to Fast Lane users as well.

The vote was 3-2.

All five board members previously voted for a toll increase, but Romney appointees Mary Connaughton and Judy Pagliuca were pushing for a toll-hike plan that would have spared many MetroWest commuters from an increase.

They voted against the final plan.
