Tolls on Ambassador Bridge to increase Jan 1

The Ambassador Bridge is set to increase toll rates starting January 1, with charges for cars, buses, and motorcycles rising from $9 to $10, and vehicles with trailers seeing a toll increase to $20. Commercial rates will also go up to $15 per axle with an account or $20 without one, alongside a hike in the escort fee for oversized loads. This adjustment comes as the Gordie Howe International Bridge, located three miles downriver, is scheduled to open in early 2026, offering potential competition.
