The current SR 520 Bridge across Lake Washington opened for traffic in April 2016, replacing the prior four-lane bridge that opened in 1963.
The SR 520 Bridge has “variable tolling,” meaning that toll rates vary based on a set schedule by day of week and time of day. Tolls are collected in both directions on the SR 520 Bridge.
Below are the current toll rates and toll policies for the SR 520 Bridge, effective as of August 15, 2024.
Note: Tolling exemption information can be found on the exemptions page.

Tolls on the SR 520 Bridge are currently expected to contribute $1.2 billion toward bridge replacement program costs, until debt service payments are complete (by about 2056). In addition, tolls are required to fully fund the operations, maintenance, preservation, and insurance for the bridge, and to help manage traffic.
Tolls are collected in both directions on the SR 520 Bridge.
