Before the sun rises
over Lake Washington tomorrow – in fact, nearly three hours before the sun
struggles to shine through the clouds and rain – the first toll will be
collected on a car crossing the state Route 520 bridge.
Although “collected”
may not be quite the right word: For a driver who has purchased a “Good to Go!”
pass and installed the sticker on his or her vehicle, the toll will be deducted
automatically from the prepaid account; otherwise, a camera will record the
vehicle’s license plate and send the owner a (higher) bill.
Visit the
Washington state Department of Transportation web site for more information, or the WSDOT blog
for the answers to 10 frequently-asked questions about tolling.
