Local Tolls & E-ZPass
Elizabeth River Tunnels Tolls
The Elizabeth River Tunnels are the fastest way for Monarchs to cross the Elizabeth River between Norfolk and Portsmouth. There is the Downtown Tunnel (I-264) and the Midtown Tunnel (US 58). Both tunnels are tolled via All-Electronic Tolling, which is designed to allow the free-flow of traffic traveling to and from Norfolk and Portsmouth. Tolls are collected through the overhead toll gantries on the roadway.

Pay-By-Plate
If you choose to travel through the Downtown or Midtown Tunnels without an E-ZPass, or without using a toll payment app, you will be billed as a Pay by Plate customer, in which an image of your license plate is captured, and a bill will be sent to the home address your vehicle is registered to within 30 days of your trip. The bill will include the toll plus a processing fee. Pay by Plate statements can be paid online at www.DriveERT.com or over the phone, by calling (757) 837-0840.
IF YOU SEE THE CONES, RESPECT THE ZONE
A VDOT display in front of ODU's Webb Center depicts a crashed vehicle where a VDOT worker was injured by a truck. Always remember to respect safety cones on the road!
