Open road tolling was implemented for drivers going from Palisades Interstate Parkway on February 2, 2020 and to the lower level on November 7, 2020, and will be implemented on both levels by 2022. The tollbooths will be dismantled, and drivers will no longer be able to pay cash at the bridge. Instead, there will be cameras mounted onto new overhead gantries. A vehicle without E-ZPass will have a picture taken of its license plate and a bill for the toll will be mailed to its owner. For E-ZPass users, sensors will detect their transponders wirelessly. In March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all-electronic tolling was temporarily placed in effect for all Port Authority crossings, including the George Washington Bridge. Cash toll collection was temporarily reinstated on the upper level only in October 2020, for eighteen months, while the required open road tolling infrastructure was being installed.
