<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Only if you travel the central section - about 34 miles of Route 1's 51-mile length are tolled. The northern section from I-95 to St. Georges (about 17 miles) is toll-free, while the southern section from Dover Air Force Base to the beaches is also toll-free.</p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Key Reality:</strong> The tolled section includes two major mainline plazas (Dover and Biddles Corner) plus three ramp tolls. Weekend rates are 166-300% higher than weekday rates.</p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">2025 Update:</strong> Major toll increases took effect with Delaware E-ZPass users seeing rates rise from $1.00 to $1.50 on weekdays and $3.00 to $4.00 on weekends at each mainline plaza.</p>

<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 25px 0 15px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #a2a9b1; padding-bottom: 2px;">Delaware Route 1 Toll Costs: Current Rates</h2>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Route 1 uses a barrier toll system with significant rate differences between Delaware E-ZPass users and out-of-state drivers, plus dramatic weekend surcharges.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Can I avoid Route 1 tolls completely?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, by using US Route 13 which parallels Route 1 through most of Delaware. However, US 13 adds 30-45 minutes to most trips and passes through numerous towns with traffic lights and lower speed limits.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Why are weekend tolls so much higher?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Weekend tolls were introduced in 2007 and increased in 2014 to fund statewide transportation projects. Route 1 sees massive traffic to Delaware beaches on weekends, and higher tolls help manage demand while generating revenue.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Do I need exact change for ramp tolls?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, ramp tolls (Exits 104, 114, and 142) are unattended and require exact change if paying cash. E-ZPass users can pass through without stopping. The ramp toll amounts are $0.25 or $0.50 depending on location.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">What's the frequent user discount?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Delaware E-ZPass users who make 30 or more trips in 30 days receive a 50% discount on tolls. This applies automatically and is particularly valuable for daily commuters using Route 1.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">When does the weekend toll period start?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Weekend tolls begin Friday at 7:00 PM and continue through Sunday at 11:00 PM. This captures the Friday evening beach traffic and Sunday evening return traffic that creates the heaviest congestion.</p>
